Broadband Plays Catch-Up in Rural Areas, Outpaces Growth in Big Cities
Broadband Penetration Rate Grows 16 Percentage Points in Rural Areas Over Past Two Years,
Significantly Outpacing that of Metropolitan Areas
RESTON, VA, August 19, 2009 comScore, Inc. released a study on broadband growth in rural,
micropolitan and metropolitan areas in the United States. The results of the analysis indicate
that while broadband penetration is much higher in the metropolitan and micropolitan areas,
broadband has experienced the most significant gains in rural areas during the past two years.
Across the country we have witnessed growth in broadband adoption driven by greater price
competition and increased consumer demand, as bandwidth-intense activities like video
streaming and peer-to-peer sharing continue to grow, said Brian Jurutka, vice president
of telecommunications at comScore. With low-speed DSL priced at about the same level as
dial-up in many areas, there is little incentive for households to remain on dial-up.
Broadband Adoption Increases in Rural America but Remains Below Overall U.S. Level
Rural markets (defined as having a population less than 10,000) in the U.S. experienced a
16-percentage point increase in broadband penetration from Q2 2007 to Q2 2009, making it
the fastest growing geographic market segment in the nation. Comparatively, micropolitan
areas (population between 10,000-50,000) grew 14 percentage points during the same period,
while metropolitan areas (population 50,000+) grew 11 percentage points.
Even though rural markets have experienced significant growth, their broadband penetration
of 75 percent remains well below the national average of 89 percent. Lower broadband
penetration in rural areas is compounded by lower Internet usage overall. According to
a 2007 analysis by U.S. Department of Agriculture Economic Research Service, 63 percent
of all rural households had at least one member access the Internet, compared with 73
percent of urban households.
Broadband penetration was a topic highlighted in the American Recovery and Reinvestment
Act (ARRA) signed by President Obama earlier this year. The Recovery Act provided a total
of $7.2 billion to the Commerce Department's National Telecommunications and Information
Administration (NTIA) and the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Rural Utilities Service
(RUS) to accelerate broadband deployment in areas of the country that have been without
the high-speed infrastructure. Starting this month, broadband deployment workshops are
being held in Washington D.C.; the national broadband plan is due to Congress in February 2010.
Smaller Markets Lead the Nation in Broadband Growth
An analysis of the nation's fastest growing local markets in broadband adoption found
that the top-growing markets were all smaller, ranking at or below #50 in terms of size.
Ft. Myers - Naples was the fastest growing market with a 12-percentage point increase
in broadband penetration from Q1 2008 to Q1 2009. Flint-Saginaw-Bay City, MI, Louisville,
KY, and Evansville, IN all experienced 11-percentage point increases during the same period.
In comparison, the nation's largest markets are closer to reaching saturation and experienced
low single-digit growth. New York, the largest local market, reached 96 percent broadband
penetration in Q1 2009, making it the most wired local market among the largest five.
Local Broadband Providers Successful in Rural Areas
While large broadband providers such as AT&T and Comcast have a presence in rural areas,
smaller and more localized providers such as Cincinnati Bell, Insight, PenTeleData,
Mediacom and Bresnan Communications are proving tough competition in the battle for
market share. For example, in Billings, Montana, Bresnan is the leading broadband provider
with 63 percent of the market. Broadband penetration is still relatively low in Billings
at 77 percent, indicating that Bresnan is well positioned to grow as broadband adoption
continues to increase.
We are following these developments closely as the market landscape continues to evolve,
continued Mr. Jurutka. The consumer has many decisions to make regarding their home
Internet service including the initial purchase decision, what price is justifiable
and what connection speeds warrant an increased price. At comScore we seek to understand
how consumers are making these decisions and the resulting effects on broadband growth
and ISP share.
