According to
our latest research paper, "World
Broadband Tracker Q4 2005",
at the end of 2005, broadband
penetration seems to have reached a turning point
judging by the following Graph. South Korea with 25.25%
has lost its leadership to the Netherlands in terms
of broadband penetration per 100 inhabitants. Now
the Netherlands by 25.97 broadband connection for
100 inhabitants, is the world most broadband connected
country.
In the ranking by broadband
penetration of top 10 countries, all countries are
growing faster than South Korea. So it is reasonable
to expect that Finland and Switzerland will overtake
South Korea by the end of this year.
China, the largest world market with 2 percent penetration
per 100 inhabitants is far behind in this ranking;
while The USA with 15.1% and Japan with 17.5% as the
second and third largest markets are relatively lagging.
