| It's cool and all to know about broadband access.
But what is the percentage of homes with internet access per country. AOL still had 19 million U.S subscribers as of June 2006.
Let alone I know of many people that use the library for net access and at least in my part of town the local library offers free wireless access.
And how many broadband connections are their in China and India? Hard to find information in my quick search but according to www.internetworldstats.com in 2004 China had over 25 million DSL subscribers which is like 2.5% of China had access to broadband. Which reminds me..
Where is Hong Kong on the list, or is it just a part of China? Back to www.internetworldstats.com, in 2004 11.5% of Hong Kong had broadband penetration.
Apparently 69% of the U.S. is connected to the internet. What that means is that the U.S. still needs to upgrade the infrastructure, big deal, it's happening everyday. Comcast in the first quarter of 2006 *added* 437,000 high speed customers. That is 1/4 of all of Denmark in 3 months. Kinda puts a little perspective on things. |
