For the full twelve month period ending June 30, 2006, high-speed lines increased by 52% (or 22.2 million lines). The presence of high-speed service subscribers was reported in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, American Samoa, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands, and in 99% of the Zip Codes in the United States. Twice a year, all facilities-based providers of high-speed connections to end users are required to report to the Commission basic information about their service offerings and types of customers. 4 Prior to June 2005, providers with fewer than 250 high-speed lines (or wireless 1 See §706, Pub.L. 104-104, Title VII, Feb. 8, 1996, 110 Stat. 153, reproduced in the notes under 47 U.S.C. § 157. We use the term “high-speed” to describe services that provide the subscriber with transmissions at a speed in excess of 200 kilobits per second (kbps) in at least one direction. “Advanced services,” which provide the subscriber with transmission speeds in excess of 200 kbps in each direction, are a subset of high-speed services. 2 Local Competition and Broadband Reporting, CC Docket No. 99-301, Report and Order, 15 FCC Rcd 7717 (2000); Local Telephone Competition and Broadband Reporting, WC Docket No. 04-141, Report and Order, 19 FCC Rcd 22340 (2004). During this data gathering program, qualifying entities file FCC Form 477 each year on March 1 (reporting data for the preceding December 31) and September 1 (reporting data for June 30 of the same year). The first data collected by Form 477 were data as of December 31, 1999. An updated Form 477, and instructions for that particular form, for each specific round of the data collection may be downloaded from the FCC Forms website at www.fcc.gov/formpage.html. 3 Statistical summaries of the earlier Form 477 data collections appeared in Deployment of Advanced Telecommunications Capability to All Americans in a Reasonable and Timely Fashion, CC Docket No. 98-146, Second Report, 15 FCC Rcd 20913 (2000) (Second 706 Report), available at www.fcc.gov/broadband/706.html, and in previous releases of the High-Speed Services for Internet Access report, available at www.fcc.gov/wcb/stats. 4 The terms “broadband connections” (which is used as a synonym for “high-speed connections” in the Form 477 program) and “facilities-based provider” are defined on the first page of the Form 477 instructions that are available at www.fcc.gov/formpage.html, and the term “end users” is defined on the third page. Facilities-based providers report information about high-speed connections they provide directly to their own end-user customers and also high-speed connections they provide to Internet Service Providers for resale to end users. 2 channels) in service in a particular state were not required to report data for that state. 5 Small providers of high-speed connections, many of whom serve rural areas with relatively small populations, were therefore underrepresented in the earlier data. Including these providers resulted in a substantial one-time increase in the number of holding companies and unaffiliated entities reporting information about high-speed connections from December 31, 2004 to June 30, 2005. 6 The data reported for June 30, 2006 include detail about the information transfer rates (“speeds”) of the reported connections and a breakdown of high-speed connections by type of technology. 7 The reported data also enable us to estimate, for individual states, the extent to which Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) high-speed connections provided by incumbent local exchange carriers (incumbent LECs), and cable modem high-speed service provided by cable system operators, are available to households residing in the areas these companies serve. Readers can draw the following broad conclusions from the data summarized in this report: • High-speed lines (or wireless channels) connecting homes and businesses to the Internet at speeds that exceed 200 kbps in at least one direction increased from 51.2 million lines to 64.6 million lines during the first half of 2006. For the full twelve month period ending June 30, 2006, high-speed lines increased by 22.1 million, from 42.4 million lines to 64.6 million lines. See Table 1 and Chart 1. • ADSL lines increased by 3.1 million lines during the first half of 2006 compared to an increase of 2.0 million lines for cable modem service. For the full year, ADSL increased by 6.3 million lines compared to an increase of 4.6 million lines for cable modem service. See Table 1. • Of the 64.6 million total high-speed lines, 44.1% were cable modem, 34.9% were ADSL, 1.5% were symmetric DSL (SDSL) or traditional wireline, 1.1% were fiber to the end user premises, and 18.4% used other technologies. 8 See Chart 2. 5 High-speed lines reported in voluntary submissions of data prior to June 2005 represented less than 0.05% of total reported high-speed lines. As of December 31, 2005, filers with fewer than 250 lines in a state (including some entities that previously made voluntary submissions) represented about 0.2% of total reported high-speed lines. 6 The nationwide number of holding companies and unaffiliated entities reporting high-speed lines increased from 552 as of December 31, 2004 to 1,270 as of June 30, 2005. See Table 7 for the nationwide counts and, for state- specific counts, see Table 8. 7 Some Internet-access connections that telephone companies, cable system operators, and wireless service providers offer do not meet the 200 kbps criterion for reporting high-speed connections to the Commission, but may nevertheless meet the needs of the subscribers who select them over a more expensive service option. 8 Providers are instructed to report a high-speed connection in the (mutually exclusive) technology category that characterizes the last few feet of distribution plant to the subscriber’s premises. In addition to cable modem, ADSL, SDSL, traditional wireline such as T-carrier, and optical carrier (fiber to the end user) connections, reporting entities specify satellite, terrestrial fixed wireless (licensed or unlicensed), terrestrial mobile wireless (licensed or unlicensed), electric power line, or “all other” technology. 3 • Lines connecting homes and businesses to the Internet at transmission speeds that exceed 200 kbps in both directions increased from 43.8 million lines to 50.4 million lines during the first half of 2006. For the full twelve month period ending June 30, 2006, they increased by 13.2 million, from 37.3 million lines to 50.4 million lines. See Table 2 and Chart 3. • Of the 50.4 million lines which were faster than 200 kbps in both directions, 55.9% were cable modem, 36.3% were ADSL, 1.9% were SDSL or traditional wireline, 1.4% were fiber to the end user premises, and 4.5% used other technologies. See Chart 4. • Of the 64.6 million total high-speed lines, 50.3 million were designed to serve primarily residential end users. Cable modem represented 55.2% of these lines while 40.1% were ADSL, 0.2% were SDSL or traditional wireline connections, 0.9% were fiber to the end user premises, and 3.7% used other technologies. See Table 3 and Chart 6. For state-specific data, see Table 13. • Of the 50.4 million lines that were faster than 200 kbps in both directions, 45.9 million lines were designed to serve primarily residential end users. Of these, cable modem represented 59.9% while 35.8% were ADSL, 0.2% were SDSL or traditional wireline, 1.0% were fiber to the end user premises, and 3.2% used other technologies. See Table 4 and Chart 8. • Of the 50.4 million reported high-speed lines that were faster than 200 kbps in both directions as of June 30, 2006, 63.1% were at least 2.5 mbps in the faster direction and 36.9% were slower than 2.5 mbps in the faster direction. See Table 5. • Incumbent LECs or their affiliates reported 96.7% of ADSL connections and 52.8% of traditional wireline connections. When all technologies are considered, incumbent LECs reported 49.5% of total high-speed connections. See Table 6. • High-speed lines were reported in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, American Samoa, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands. See Table 9 and, for historical data, Tables 10 - 12. • As a nationwide average, we estimate that high-speed DSL connections were available to 79% of the households to whom incumbent LECs could provide local telephone service, and that high-speed cable modem service was available to 93% of the households to whom cable system operators could provide cable TV service. See Table 14. • The Commission’s data collection program requires providers to list the Zip Codes in which the provider has at least one high-speed connection in service to an end user, and 99% of Zip Codes were listed by at least one provider. 9 The most widely reported technologies by this 9 Lists of Zip Codes with number of service providers as reported in the FCC Form 477 filings are made available at www.fcc.gov/wcb/stats in a format that honors requests for nondisclosure of information the reporting entities assert is competitively sensitive. 4 measure were satellite (with at least some presence reported in 90% of Zip Codes), ADSL (in 82% of Zip Codes), and cable modem (in 64% of Zip Codes). ADSL and/or cable modem connections were reported to be present in 88% of Zip Codes. 10 See Tables 15 and 16. For state-specific data, see Table 17. • Our analysis indicates that more than 99% of the country’s population lives in the 99% of Zip Codes where a provider reports having at least one high-speed service subscriber. Moreover, numerous competing providers report serving high-speed subscribers in the major population centers of the country. See the map that follows Table 16. • High population density has a positive association with reports that high-speed subscribers are present, and low population density has an inverse association. For example, high-speed subscribers were reported to be present in 99% of the most densely populated Zip Codes and in 89% of Zip Codes with the lowest population densities. 11 The comparable figure for the lowest-density Zip Codes was 84% a year earlier. See Table 18. • High median household income also has a positive association with reports that high-speed subscribers are present. In the top one-tenth of Zip Codes ranked by median household income, high-speed subscribers are reported in 99% of Zip Codes. By contrast, high-speed subscribers are reported in 91% of Zip Codes with the lowest median household income, compared to 88% a year earlier. See Table 19. As other information from the Commission’s data collection program (FCC Form 477) becomes available, it will be included in future reports on the deployment of advanced telecommunications capability and in publications such as this one. We invite users of this information to provide suggestions for improved data collection and analysis by: • Using the attached customer response form, • E-mailing comments to James.Eisner@fcc.gov or Suzanne.Mendez@fcc.gov, • Calling the Industry Analysis and Technology Division of the Wireline Competition Bureau at (202) 418-0940, or • Participating in any formal proceedings undertaken by the Commission to solicit comments for improvement of FCC Form 477. 10 The 88% figure (more precisely, 87.9%) includes ZIP codes with either ADSL subscribers reported, cable modem subscribers reported, or both. In 57.8% of ZIP codes, both ADSL and cable modem subscribers have been reported. In 24.2% of ZIP codes, there are ADSL subscribers reported but no cable modem subscribers, and in 5.9% of ZIP codes there are cable modem subscribers reported but no ADSL subscribers reported. 11 For this comparison, we consider the most densely populated Zip Codes to be those with more than 3,147 persons per square mile (the top decile of Zip Codes) and the least densely populated Zip Codes to be those with fewer than 6 persons per square mile (the bottom decile). 2003 2006 Jun ADSL 951,583 2,693,834 5,101,493 7,675,114 11,398,199 13,817,280 16,316,309 19,515,619 22,575,010 SDSL and Traditional Wireline 758,594 1,088,066 1,186,680 1,215,713 1,407,121 1,468,566 898,468 904,539 948,160 SDSL ------411,731 394,348 337,438 Traditional Wireline 486,737 510,191 610,722 Cable Modem 2,284,491 5,184,141 9,172,895 13,684,225 18,592,636 21,357,400 23,936,536 26,469,242 28,513,500 Fiber 3 46,635 81,248 105,991 111,386 130,928 159,653 315,651 448,257 700,083 Satellite and Wireless 65,615 194,707 220,588 309,006 421,690 549,621 965,068 3,814,122 11,872,309 Satellite ------376,837 426,928 495,365 Fixed Wireless 208,695 257,431 360,976 Mobile Wireless ------379,536 3,129,763 11,015,968 Power Line and Other 4,872 4,571 5,208 Total Lines 4,106,918 9,241,996 15,787,647 22,995,444 31,950,574 37,352,520 42,436,904 51,156,350 64,614,270 For data through December 2004, only those providers with at least 250 lines per state were required to file.

Notes for Tables 1 - 6 and Charts 1 - 10. Advanced services lines, residential high-speed lines, and residential advanced services lines are estimated based on data reported on FCC Form 477. Therefore, figures may not add to totals due to rounding. 1 High-speed lines are connections to end-user locations that deliver services at speeds exceeding 200 kbps in at least one direction. Advanced services lines, which are a subset of high-speed lines, are connections that deliver services at speeds exceeding 200 kbps in both directions. In Tables 2 and 4, we enumerate those reported high-speed lines that also qualify as advanced services lines. More detailed information about connection speeds is presented in Table 5. Line counts presented in this report are not adjusted for the number of persons at a single end-user location who have access to, or who use, the Internet-access services that are delivered over the high-speed connection to that location. 2 The mutually exclusive types of technology are, respectively: Asymmetric digital subscriber line (ADSL) technologies, which provide speeds in one direction greater than speeds in the other direction; symmetric digital subscriber line (SDSL) technologies; traditional wireline technologies "other" than ADSL and SDSL, including traditional telephone company high-speed services that provide equivalent functionality, and also Ethernet service if delivered to the subscriber's location over copper (as opposed to optical fiber) plant; cable modem, including the typical hybrid fiber-coax (HFC) architecture of upgraded cable TV systems; optical fiber to the subscriber's premises (e.g., Fiber-to-the-Home, or FTTH); satellite and fixed and mobile terrestrial wireless systems, which use radio spectrum to communicate with a radio transmitter; and electric power line. 3 Fiber line counts included electric power line through December 2004. The June 2005 fiber counts reflect a downward correction by one or more filers. Fiber line counts prior to June 2005 have been adjusted to take into account this downward correction.
