Yahoo! News - Broadband Duopoly Calms Cable, Telecom Battles: "LAS VEGAS (Reuters) - The long-promised battle between U.S. cable and telephone companies has so far been more of an uneasy peace. Thanks to their duopoly over broadband Internet access, it may stay that way.



Although the two industries face several competitors for voice and video customers, they now control about 97 percent of the 30 million U.S. broadband Internet lines to homes. Cable companies hold roughly 60 percent, but the dominant local telephone companies have been gaining more users this year."
