European broadband connections top 110m
By Robert Briel | March 6, 2009 | 10:01 UK
Broadband connections across Europe rose by 20% over the year to a total of 110.5 million connections, equivalent to 22.5% of the continent’s population, according to the latest figures from The European Competitive Telecommunications Association (ECTA).
Denmark, Finland, Sweden and The Netherlands all had penetration rates exceeding 30%, with the UK (28.1%, up from 24.9% in 2007) not far behind. Poland came last with a penetration rate of just 10.1%, though Slovakia, Bulgaria and Romania were also in the bottom half.
Incumbents retained 50% of the total retail EU broadband market (including resale), or 45% if resale is excluded.
