Demand for broadband access has increased significantly in recent years due to the growth of the Internet. Broadband supports widespread use of the World Wide Web for communicating and accessing information. Rapid growth in the number of Internet users and the demand for high-speed, high-volume interactive services has created opportunity for cable companies to expand the usefulness of the cable communication networks.

High-speed Internet access is available at home primarily through cable network infrastructure.

Global cable infrastructure consists of headend equipment, cable and assemblies, DWDM, and other. The markets at $3.5 billion in 2001 are expected to dip early in the forecast period in response to deteriorating market conditions. After the excess communication capacity is absorbed, markets will climb to $3.7 billion by 2007.
