TV Leads Sub Growth in Second Quarter 2009

Broadband Internet access grew the fastest of a range of 10 video, voice and other consumer services in the second quarter of 2009, an analysis by Silicon Alley Insider suggests. About 3.3 million more net new broadband subscribers were added in the second quarter of 2009, compared to the same quarter of 2008.

VoIP subscribers also grew, adding 2.5 million cable subs. Overall, though, video services added twice as many subs as did broadband Internet access or VoIP services, among the 10 services tracked.

Digital cable, telco TV (FiOS from Verizon and U-Verse from AT&T), and satellite combined for 4.8 million net new subscribers in the 12-month period ending this June, more than the number of new broadband Internet subscribers. Meanwhile, Netflix added 2.2 million new subscribers.)
