"The firm's study, 'North American Fiber Broadband Report: FTTH Review and Forecast 2026-2030,' indicates that nearly $200 billion will be spent on fiber over the next five years, highlighting a significant investment in fiber-to-the-home services."
"The report notes that while tier-one telephone companies currently dominate fiber penetration, their market share is projected to decrease from 93% in 2006 to 46% by the end of the study period, indicating a shift in the competitive landscape."
"Ninety-two percent of respondents in a related study reported that fiber deployment costs had increased over the past year, with aerial deployments costing $8 per foot compared to $18 per foot for underground construction."
A study forecasts that U.S. organizations will invest almost $200 billion in fiber-to-the-home services from 2026 to 2030. Challenges include permitting and workforce availability. The diversity of fiber providers is increasing, with telecom companies, cable MSOs, and municipalities driving growth. Tier-one telephone companies' dominance in fiber penetration is expected to decline significantly. The Caribbean and Canada will also experience growth, but at a slower pace. Additional research supports these findings, indicating a substantial increase in homes connected by fiber access.
