- Key Points
- Even with the weakening US economy, US telecoms companies- sales
momentum did not slow over the last six months

continued to drop sharply during 2007 in the US, with Verizon
Communications Inc and AT&T both reporting declines of around 10% in
residential wireline accounts

broadband services picked up, with more than 2.5 million American homes
now connected directly into high-speed fiber networks

average over the last six months until March 28

communication services in Canada slowed dramatically as people
eliminated second phone lines However, spending growth on broadband
internet packages was still strong

saturated, but people are spending more time talking and delivering
more text messages

enhance peoples- quality of life

any types of communication device they are using

against telecoms companies

turning towards IPTV services as a way to support broadband penetration
and increase their ARPU

maintaining its momentum and proving to be far more robust than other

manufacturers and wireless operators are being forced to look elsewhere
to keep their profits up

providers are launching on- the-go services in Canada
