broadband stats

Hi,

I wonder what statistics OECD is using on Japan, as they
are 2.74 million FttH subs off...

On march 13, 2007, the Tokyo Ministry of Information
released the broadband stats as per 31-12-2006:

- FttH 7.94 million (31-12-2005: 4.6)
- xDSL: 14,2 (31-12-2005: 14.5)

FttH now represents 31% of all Japanese broadband subs.
At the current speeds of roll out and churn somewhere in
Q3, 2008 in Japan there will be more FttH than DSL subs.

Hey Dave --

The OECD just released its broadband stats for December.

http://www.oecd.org/document/
7/0,2340,en_2649_34223_38446855_1_1_1_1,00.html

Couple of points popped out:
  - We Canucks lead the G7 when it comes to broadband penetration at
23.8
broadband subscribers per 100 inhabitants. But Canada is number 9 in the
OECD. Denmark is best among the 30 OECD countries with 31.9
subscribers per
100 inhabitants. (U.S. is number 15 in the OECD and 5th in the G7 at
19.6
broadband subscribers per 100 inhabitants.)
  - Japan leads the OECD in fibre connections directly to the home
with 7.9
million fibre-to-the-home subscribers in December 2006. Fibre
subscribers
alone in Japan outnumber total broadband subscribers in 23 of the 30
OECD
countries.
