EFM Enables Cheap Broadband in Asia Pacific
The worldwide number of residential
Ethernet in the First Mile (EFM) subscribers will rise from 2.1 million
in 2002 to 23.9 million in 2007, with most of these subscribers residing
in the Asia Pacific region, reports In-Stat/MDR.
The high-tech market research firm finds that since the end of 2000,
there has been growing momentum for the use of Ethernet in the
residential subscriber access network, owing to Ethernet’s relatively
low cost, simplicity, flexibility, ubiquity and high bandwidth.
