Marlon,
There are several factors that I should have included along with this
number. First of all this is a percentage of member countries of the
OECD and secondly the information is based on data rates of 256k or
higher. The PEW report on the other hand was a survey of 4000 US
Citizens of which only 29% responded.

Dawn DiPietro

Dawn, go look at last spring's PEW report on the internet. The
numbers (and %) of wireless broadband is much higher according to PEW.

Subject: [WISPA] The OECD just released its broadband stats for December.
All,
http://www.oecd.org/document/7/0,2340,en_2649_34223_38446855_1_1_1_1,00.html
* The breakdown of broadband technologies in December 2006 is as
follows:
- DSL : 62%
- Cable modem : 29%
- FTTH/FTTB : 7%
- Other (e.g. satellite, fixed wireless, powerline
communication) : 2%
Wireless Providers have made some improvements in market share but
not enough to say they are a force to be reckoned with.
Canada has a lower population density than the US yet they still
kicked butt in broadband penetration.
Broadband penetration Population
density
(subscribers per 100 inhabitants, Dec. 2006) (inhab/km2, 2005)
Canada 23.8

United States 19.6 32.0
