Broadband subscriptions up in Europe
BBC News has an article about the boom in home broadband access in Europe. Apparently the boom's predicted not to last, with saturation coming when 60% of households have broadband. Maybe wireline services will top out at that sort of penetration.
This morning I was sitting across the aisle in the train from a teenage boy watching a music video on his mobile phone. My guess is that if we get to accessible wireless broadband, then the saturation point won't be 60% of households, but closer to whatever the penetration rate is for mobile phone-style devices, of which people may have several, such as a phone, a video device (personal TV set), a webtop, maybe a small digital music device, and things I've not thought of yet.
