The Current Analysis Digital Home - U.S. module covers three core components of the market including network services, Internet services, and service-attached devices. Network services are offered by cable, satellite, and telephone companies that include a physical network connection that delivers a mix of voice, video, and broadband Internet services. Voice over IP (VoIP) has given cable companies an effective tool to capture voice market share, and in 2007 the top five cable companies took away nearly 5 million voice subscribers from the leading telcos, AT&T, Verizon and Qwest. The voice, video, and Internet triple play has become the lead offer for network service providers, although wireless integration (to constitute a quadruple play) remains elusive for the cable companies. Internet services are provided both by network service providers and by companies that use any wireline or wireless Internet connection to deliver portals, applications and storage, entertainment content, and social networking. Funded by advertising and by subscription fees (including flat-rate and usage-based fees), Internet services represent a growing revenue opportunity for providers. Network service providers are moving to capture a larger share of the Internet service revenues beyond the broadband network connection, and are leveraging value-added Internet services to deepen customer loyalty. Service-attached devices such as set-top boxes, media centers, and broadband modems are typically offered with a network service, although Internet service providers also occasionally include a device that helps to define the service like a video or music player. |
