telecomtv.com EUROPEAN BROADBAND BOOM IMMINENT Anew report from Internet research body Jupiter MMXI says that Europe is heading for a broadband Internet boom and that it will happen next year. According to Jupiter’s predictions, European domestic broadband penetration will double, and in some countries even triple, during 2002. The report says that Sweden and Belgium will continue to lead the European broadband race with penetration next year reaching 18% and 12% respectively. Meanwhile, the number of households with broadband access will triple in Italy and the U.K. during 2002. The Netherlands is expected to come in third with 10% broadband penetration levels by December next year. Mind you, the UK starts from a very low level. Fewer than 250,00 people (that’s less than1% of the British population) presently have access to domestic broadband connections. Thus, even if the Jupiter’s predictions are correct the UK will still languish well down the European broadband league with considerably fewer than a million users. However, the square-eyed UK does boast the highest penetration of digital television in the world. The report also says that broadband penetration across the whole of Europe will not achieve the ‘critical mass’ figure of 15% of homes until 2006 at the very earliest. So it’s going to be a long, slow old haul. _
