Long abstract

OECD Broadband Statistics, December 2004

 Broadband markets continued their rapid growth in the OECD during 2004. While all OECD countries have seen an increase in broadband subscriptions, growth has been particularly rapid in parts of Europe. The expansion of broadband networks in 2004 has brought with it a host of new services in many OECD countries, including voice over IP and video over broadband. The first table provides broadband penetration rates by technology (e.g. DSL, cable modem, and other technologies) and the total number of subscribers in OECD countries. The second tables provides a broadband time series (subscribers per 100 inhabitants) from 2001 to 2004 for all OECD countries. Finally, seven charts highlight broadband trends throughout the OECD.
