SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Coax & phoneline networking is becoming increasingly important among home network connectivity alternatives, particularly for service provider provisioned networks. Cumulative households with an in-home provider network utilizing coax/phoneline technology will more than double from 2008 to 2010, according to In-Stat.

“Consumers want web video on their TV and also increasingly want whole-home DVR capability” says Joyce Putscher, In-Stat analyst. “Networking over coax makes particularly good sense in North America where 90% of homes have pre-existing coax wiring.”

The recent research by In-Stat found the following:

  • In 2010, average PC home network throughput will exceed 150 Mbps in North America, ahead of throughput in Asia/Pacific and European households.
  • Nearly 2/3 of consumer respondents from In-Stat’s survey expressed an interest in watching Internet Video on their TV
  • Two segregated home networks (HN) have been evolving- A service provider-centric network, and a PC-centric network. Each is leveraging different business models and technologies.
