Fiber To The Home Reaches 2 Million

Around 2.1 million U.S. households, or close to 2 percent, have fiber optic connections to the Internet, according to a study sponsored by the Fiber-to-the-Home Council and Telecommunications Industry Association and conducted by RVA Market Research.

That is an increase from 1 million households with fiber optic Internet connections in September 2006.

"Clearly, American consumers want what only fiber can deliver, and that is a pipe big enough to handle the high-bandwidth Internet and video applications of the future," said Joe Savage, president of the FTTH Council.

About 1 million U.S. households receive video over fiber-to-the-home, an increase of 160 percent over the past six months.

"While annual growth in the number of connections has doubled for the past two years, we expect to see a further increase in the growth rate as more high-bandwidth applications come to market and as more major service providers begin offering fiber to the home," said Michael Render of RVA Market
