A new survey by Gartner has concluded that around 25 per cent of all households worldwide will have a broadband connection by 2012.
At the last count it was estimated that 323 million homes were connected up to broadband, accounting for 18 per cent of the total number of households across the globe. If Gartner’s predictions are correct then this could rise to around 499 million by 2012.
58 percent of UK households are currently link up to a broadband service, although this number is expected to increase to 74 per cent within the next four years.
This will still only mean that the UK ranks 9th in the list of the global broadband penetration. Topping the charts are Holland, Switzerland, Canada, Hong Kong and South Korea.
