DSL price war to threaten cable's crown?
Lower DSL prices could pose a serious challenge to the cable industry's hammerlock on the U.S. market for high-speed Internet access, according to financial analysts.
Speculation about a broadband price war was sparked last week with reports that Verizon plans to slash its DSL (digital subscriber line) prices by 30 percent, to $34.95 a month. That would undercut current cable broadband prices by between $10 and $15 a month and turn DSL into an expensive money loser for Verizon.
But it could also help fill out anemic DSL subscriber rolls for the phone company, which has struggled to make inroads against cable companies in the broadband market.
