PDFIndicators of broadband coverage

23 February 2010This report provides an overview of how broadband physical coverage and availability can be measured and compared across countries. It first summarises what data are available from official and non-official sources. The approach taken by the report is to consider coverage and availability related to different types of technologies. These include Digital Subscriber Line, cable networks, Fibre to the Premises, 3G, satellite and WiMAX technologies. This is because every technology capable of providing high speed Internet access involves specific issues when measuring coverage and availability. Accordingly, categorisation by technology is the most consistent way to approach this task. For every broadband technology, the available indicators will be presented, and this report discusses to what extent they are comparable.
