Cable vs. Telco: The battle heats up
Business Week

The trends in U.S. wireline telecommunications of the past two years  
have continued over the past several months, with phone companies  
still losing residential-access lines while adding more digital- 
subscriber-line (DSL) customers. Meanwhile, competition between cable  
and phone companies for video customers has heated up. Overall growth  
remains good in the wireless sector, but not all carriers are  
benefiting equally. The cable industry seems to have peaked in terms  
of the number of video subscribers, though growth from advanced  
services is still solid.
