Iceland comes first in broadband

28.4.2006

Iceland is most web-savvy country, with a study showing it has the highest concentration of broadband users. The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development found that broadband was also widespread in South Korea, the Netherlands and Denmark. But the US still has the most broadband users, with more than 49 million. Overall broadband subscriptions in OECD countries jumped from 136 million to 158 million in the six months to December 2005. The OECD figures revealing Iceland topping the list of broadband users were a surprise as South Korea is regularly touted as being the most wired nation on Earth following government drives to get people using fast net connections.
