As the telecommunications world changes from one involving multiple dedicated communications channels (telephone, cable TV, cell phone, radio, etc.) to one in which content is independent of the channel that provides it, broadband service becomes the universal backbone of the telecommunications industry.

"Although people tend to see broadband as cable modems and DSL with fiber optic cable as a long-term threat there is, in fact, a much broader range of possibilities from satellite, broadband over power line, to various wireless technologies," says Max Engel, Industry Analyst for Frost & Sullivan's Telecom Service Group. "All of these have a role to play in the developing world of broadband communications. There will not be a single winner but, instead, a complex telecommunications ecology in which different technologies will find favorable niches."
