Yesterday the DOJ filed its proposed remedies in the Search antitrust case. The recommended divestiture of Chrome drew most of the headlines. And while potentially very negative for GOOGL (as are all proposed remedies), we don’t believe it is the most impactful to the market for general search services.

3Q24 Broadband Trends: FWA capacity limits; FWA demand limits

In this iteration of “Broadband Trends” we update our FWA capacity forecast. We also touch on early signs that demand for FWA may be limited, which could prevent mobile operators from reaching capacity limits (or force them to work harder to get there). This could have a big impact on the pace of Cable subscriber growth. Finally, we reprise our work on the competitive positioning of the various operators based on relative NPS scores.
