Infonetics Launches Broadband Subscriber Database of 130+ Service Providers; "Phenomenal Growth" in Asia

Market research firm Infonetics Research today released excerpts from its new Broadband Subscriber Database by Provider report, which contains demographical information and subscriber data of more than 130 global wireline broadband providers.

Heynen continues: "FTTH subscribers in Europe are now showing signs of solid growth, with Swisscom, Free, and Telefonica (News - Alert) among a handful of operators moving forward with FTTH."
