OECD Broadband Statistics

 
The OECD Directorate for Science, Technology and Industry, released new statistics on broadband services penetration in its member countries for December 2009 (31 counties).

See press release here and the "OECD Broadband Portal" - here.

I selected one chart - "Fixed broadband subscribers per 100 inhabitants, by technology". Please note that OECD definitions do NOT include mobile services (including 3G services) as broadband, so the statistics are for fixed connection, including some minor fixed-wireless access technologies (see "Broadband Subscriber Criteria" - here).

The average is 23.3 subscriptions per 100 inhabitants. In total, DSL has 60%, Cable 29%, Fiber/LAN 11% (mainly in Japan and Korea).
