According to research from Park Associates, the demand for high-bandwidth applications will shoot up in the coming years as the number of households worldwide with broadband will reach close to 650 million by 2013.

“The need for information and communication services persists despite current recessionary economic conditions,” said Jayant Dasari, research analyst, Parks Associates, in a statement. “Consumers are less likely to cancel Internet access and broadband services than other residential services, such as phone services, pay TV, and monitored security.”

According to Kurt Scherf, vice president, principal analyst, Parks Associates, bandwidth will remain as the focus area since operators will have to re-architect their existing networks to deliver multiple services over the same infrastructure.
