77 Million GLOBAL Broadband LINES
Posted: 19th Sep, 2003 By: MarkJ
New research from Point Topic has found that, as of 30th June 2003, there were 77million global broadband lines. 60% (46.7m) of those are based on broadband xDSL technology, such as ADSL:
* DSL lines grew by 30% in the first half of 2003, cable modems by 16.4%
* Cable modems grew faster than DSL in North America; DSL grew faster almost everywhere else.
* The world's major economies are starting to converge on similar levels of broadband take-up. Six of the "Group of 7" countries are now in the Top Ten for number of broadband lines (see below). Italy is number eleven.
* The UK appears in the charts at last, as fastest growing major country, up by 63% in the half year.
* South Korea is still far ahead at 22.9 broadband lines per hundred population, followed by Hong Kong. But Canada is at 13.3 per 100 and several European countries around 10 or approaching it. This means that in Canada, for example, about 35% of households have broadband.
