With DSL at Turning Point, DSL IC Revenues Will Fall

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., February 1, 2006 - As broadband moves from data-only services to triple play offerings, the DSL market is in flux, and total DSL IC revenues will drop from a high of close to $1.6 billion in 2004 to $880 million by 2009, reports In-Stat (http://www.in-stat.com). Combining voice, video and data within the same stream forces a myriad of changes that will impact the DSL IC industry in the coming years, the high-tech market research firm says.

“By far, the most difficult problem is predicting what flavors of DSL will be required when and where,” says Norm Bogen, In-Stat analyst. “And while there is clearly a drive toward faster connections, no one is sure where the thirst for more bandwidth will end.”

A recent report by In-Stat found the following:

* The total market for DSL in ports shipped will remain fairly stable across the forecast period, despite a slight dip in 2006, as the market prepares for the transition to ADSL2+ and VDSL2.
* Given that ADSL2+ is compatible with all previous forms of ADSL, ADSL2+ chips now comprise a majority of DSL shipments.
* There will be an increased shift to VDSL, which will grow from just 3.9% of actual 2004 port shipments to 29.6% of estimated shipments in 2009.
