Virtually all observers believe hybrid fiber coax eventually will be replaced by fiber to the home. The issue always is the time frame for the transition. What is not so clear is the eventual impact on cable operator market share. Some forecasts might reflect use of HFC platforms rather than internet access (home broadband) market shares, as cable operators gradually move to FTTH themselves.
Assuming cable operators remain astute operators, a case can be made that even after the shift to FTTH platforms, they should still be able to maintain leading shares in the home broadband markets, much as one now sees in mobility markets globally. Platforms are the same. What matters are operating and marketing prowess.
