OECD Broadband Portal


This portal is directly accessible at http://www.oecd.org/sti/ict/broadband.


The OECD broadband portal provides access to a range of broadband-related statistics gathered by the OECD. Policy makers must examine a range of indicators which reflect the status of individual broadband markets in the OECD. The OECD has indentified five main categories which are important for assessing broadband markets.
