INVESTMENT IDEAS Broadband providers hit the canvas DSL has fumbled the ball and cable has hit the deck, but the ref hasn't counted them out...yet By Ben Macklin, senior analyst, eMarketer It has been a tough year for broadband access providers in the US. On the digital subscriber line (DSL) front, wholesalers Rhythms Net Connections (RTHMQ), North Point and Covad (COVD.OB) hit the canvas. Covad is in the process of getting back on its feet, but its future remains uncertain. On the cable side, Excite@Home recently filed for bankruptcy, and numerous broadband wireless providers including Winstar and Metricom have also dissolved. But what lies ahead for those that survive? While DSL technology has fumbled the ball early in the game and is now unlikely to ever live up to its promise, cable and satellite providers still have a chance to run for daylight. But for the time being, dial-up remains the clear market leader. Indeed, eMarketer predicts continuing growth in the dial-up sector, at least for 2002, even though broadband services will become more widespread. Dial-up will taper off in the following years, but it will still be the most common means of Internet access in the home even as late as 2004. AOL, with its 26 million subscribers (not counting Road Runner) as of September 2001, will continue to dominate the scene. Its nearest competitors, MSN (7 million subscribers), United Online (6.1 million subscribers) and Earthlink (ELNK) (4.9 million subscribers) will battle it out for second place. Even if the largest five ISPs after AOL merged, they would still fail to rival AOL Time Warner (AOL).
