Strategis expects 25 million high-speed households by 2004, up from 1.9 million in 1999. Residential broadband revenue is expected to increase to $7.67 billion in five years from $580 million today. In 2004, cable is expected to claim 46 percent of the market compared with 40 percent for digital subscriber lines.
