Tom Starr, head of the Forum, has been there from the early 1990's setting DSL standards. He and many others at the Forum played crucial roles in getting from about 0 to 500M in 12 years. Sorry I wasn't at the Forum meeting in Hong Kong to raise a toast. The story in the data that China is growing so fast (>5M last quarter) that overall world grosth continues strong. Here's the announcement, which is based on Point-Topic data.
One in every five of the world's households now has fixed broadband, Point-Topic estimates and the Broadband Forum is celebrating in Hong Kong. That's 2.63% growth in the quarter and 11.99% in the last 12 months to end of Q2 2010. ...
* China – the powerhouse of global broadband in the 21st century so far was responsible for 43% of all net broadband lines added in Q2 2010 and performed far better than the same quarter in 2009 ('China' includes Mainland China, Hong Kong & Macau)
* In Western Europe many markets did better than the equivalent 2009 quarter. Germany, the UK, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, Poland and Turkey amongst others all reported strong numbers
* Central and South American markets have cooled to an extent but many are still reporting good quarterly growth (in the 5%-7% range)
* However North America, the USA and in particular Canada have significantly slowed and - in Canada's case - to levels not seen for a decade
Continuing the trend from previous quarterly figures, Asia increased its share of the overall broadband market by a further 1.2% in the year Q209 to Q210 and by 0.41% in the last quarter alone. The region now accounts for almost 41% of the total, with Europe in second place with 30% and the Americas showing 26%. China is the biggest individual contributor to the Asian growth adding 5,470,888 lines bringing its total to 120,591,488, over 24% of the 500,000,000 lines achieved in the early part of Q3. Elsewhere in the top 10 the real movement is from Russia and Brazil. Written by Dave Burstein

Top 30 Structured Wiring Installers
Julie Jacobson

Like the construction industry that fuels it, the structured-wiring business was dismal in 2007, and high-volume integrators continue to struggle in 2008.
“We’re definitely down,” says Mark Buzzard of Liberty Bell Alarm, Sacramento, Calif. “None of the builders are building anything.”
That’s the bad news.
The good news is that many custom installers, who have relied on new production homes in the past, are making positive adjustments to thrive in the new economy. For its part, Liberty is pumping up the energy around its home systems business, recently adding funky artwork to its installation vans. “We’re getting tons of buzz and positive feedback,” Buzzard says...
