Cable presents a mixed picture in terms of subscriber numbers. Although the overall trend has been a very slow decline in market share, there is evidence that operators are responding with implementation of upgrades such as DOCSIS3.0 which signifi cantly increases the bandwidth available, as well as strategic pricing decisions designed to balance the revenue and market share drift. Other broadband access tech-nologies, such as fi xed wireless, satellite, powerline and so on are also slowly gaining market share. This is primarily due to their growing success at plugging not-spots, where fi xed broadband lines are uneco-nomic to deploy.
