OECD BROADBAND STATISTICS TO DECEMBER 2006
[SOURCE: Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development, AUTHOR: ]
Over the past year, the number of broadband subscribers in the OECD increased
26% from 157 million in December 2005 to 197 million in December 2006. This
growth increased broadband penetration rates in the OECD from 13.5 in December
2005 to 16.9 subscriptions per 100 inhabitants one year later. Some highlights:
1) European countries have continued their advance with high broadband
penetration rates. In December 2006, eight countries (Denmark, the Netherlands,
Iceland, Korea, Switzerland, Finland, Norway and Sweden) led the OECD in
broadband penetration, each with at least 26 subscribers per 100 inhabitants.
2) Denmark and the Netherlands are the first two countries in the OECD to
surpass 30 subscribers per 100 inhabitants. 3) The strongest per-capita
subscriber growth over the year comes from Denmark, the Netherlands, New
Zealand, and Ireland. Each country added more than 5.8 subscribers per 100
inhabitants during the past year. 4) The United States has the largest total
number of broadband subscribers in the OECD at 58.1 million. US broadband
subscribers now represent 29% of all broadband connections in the OECD, down
from 30% in June 2006.
