Meet the experts and the customers. All in one place. All in one week.
• The housing market is recovering.
• Economic growth, more than ever, requires community access
to broadband.
• MDU construction is strengthening.
• There is growing demand for bandwidth to serve individuals,
companies and community services.
• Technology amenities are more vital than ever for rents and
occupancy rates.
For more than a generation, only the Broadband Summit brings real estate,
communities and communications together so intimately and so efciently.
2013 was a great year for ultrabroadband providers. Will 2014 be even better
as the economy continues to improve?
CONSIDER….
2013 racked up the best FTTH numbers in both real
estate and ultrabroadband since the start of the
recession. The hard facts:
Real Estate: MDUs set records
• The door is wide open for extra-proftable
greenfeld deployments: New annual housing starts
crossed the million mark in October for the frst time
since 2008.
• MDUs came close to matching historic highs;
400,000 starts were multiple dwelling units, twice the market share of pre-recession starts.
• Thus, MDU construction is comparable to a pre-recession 2 million-start year.
