The number of FTTH subscribers in the U.S. grew 34% in the second quarter to 463,000. Verizon laid claim to 375,000 of them. Of the 118,000 new subscribers added throughout the country that quarter, 110,000 were customers of Verizon’s FiOS service.

Verizon reported having penetrated 15% of the markets where it offers FiOS, with video service penetration of 7% after three months and 10% after six months. If nationwide video franchising becomes reality, Ovum-RHK said, those numbers should rise much higher. Verizon is deploying FTTH in a total of 730 U.S. communities.

The remaining 19% of the domestic FTTH market is divided among other Bell carriers, independent telcos and municipalities.
