     According to Dittberner’s “Broadband Shipment Analysis,” 3Q07 FTTH shipments increased 7% quarter-over-quarter on top of a strong 25% growth in 2Q07. Port shipments were up 38% year-over-year. Though the third quarter, 2007 shipments had exceeded 90% of the total shipments for 2006, putting 2007 on track to be the best year ever.

     The increase was due to a strong showing in the North American and Japanese markets, with Korea’s shipments down slightly.

     The dominant Japanese market continues to move toward a higher percentage of MDU subscribers, increasing the number of VDSL ports while reducing the numbers of FTTH ports. NTT, the dominant service provider in Japan, added about 423,000 FTTH customers. Verizon had comparable growth, adding 227,000 FTTH customers.
