Exorbitant local telephone costs and slow bandwidth mean that an increasing number of users are turning to cable access providers. The cable market is expected to grow by 504 percent next year. Further, almost one-third of access providers in Latin America used MCI to connect to the US Internet backbone, with 26 percent using Sprint.
IDC found that overall Internet access providers expect the number of access accounts to increase by over 90 percent in 1999. Dial-up accounts are expected to increase by 87 percent and dedicated access accounts are set to increase by 124 percent.
