West European Broadband Use Grows
Posted: 03rd Mar, 2004 By: MarkJ
The latest eMarketer report into broadband uptake has found that West European use will grow 163% by 2007 (52.5 million households) from the current 20 million:
29.2% of online households in Western Europe had broadband web access last year, but 60.1% will have broadband in 2007, eMarketer estimates.
EMarketer also estimates that there were 208.2 million Internet users in all of Europe at the end of last year. It notes that other estimates put the number of Internet users at the end of 2003 in Western Europe at 164.7 million, plus 43.5 million in the rest of Europe.
Another report--this one from researchers Point Topic for the DSL Forum--says 64 million households worldwide access the Internet through high-speed DSL connections, up 78% in one year. The U.S. accounts for 9.1 million DSL households.
We note that the UK has managed to hitch itself into the tenth position of global xDSL using countries, with roughly 2 million lines connected. More @ Internet Retailer.
