JupiterResearch predicts that 70 percent of US homes ­ some 86 million households ­ will have broadband Internet access by 2012. The latest market forecast finds that wider availability of high-speed service will prompt nearly 36 million new broadband subscribers over the next five years. JupiterResearch forecasts the number of dial-up Internet households -- currently about 33 million -- will drop by over two-thirds by 2012, but that the market for dial-up service will not disappear completely. However, as Web content increasingly incorporates high-bandwidth applications such as video, the value of dial-up access will become increasingly marginalized.
