The report highlighted that cable broadband average arpu will decline by 2008 (as will the rate of growth in BB adoption overall). The solution there (much as it is here) is to offer converged services such as IP telephony, home networking and VODs in order to remain competitive. New technologies such as DOCSIS allow up to 1 gigabit per second broadband speeds over existing hybrid fiber coax networks.
