broadband access is very strong and takes on
added significance for rural and remote
communities, where improved communications
can address a variety of challenges posed by
distance.”

deployments to both
households and business
premises could reach
almost 28 million
customers by 2005.
The market by then was
estimated to be worth
almost $42 billion in
service revenues, and
would have penetrated
almost all developing

economies.
