U.S. Business Landline Purchases Up

Here's something you might not have suspected: U.S. businesses have added 700,000 wired network connections over the past five years, despite shedding large number of narrowband voice lines. 

Ethernet, business grade DSL and business grade cable modem connections have driven the growth. 

So despite narrowband line losses, service providers have seen overall growth of business lines of 15 percent over the past five years.
