Interesting article on European Broadband Adoption.

“The take-up rate of broadband internet access slowed sharply across Europe last year, while in some key markets former monopoly operators are reclaiming market share lost to rivals in recent years, the European Competitive Telecommunications Association said in a statement onin Thursday. ECTA believes the two trends are connected.”

interestingly enough, broadband has always been a hot button issue here in Ireland, where the previously state owned monopolistic telecoms provider Eircom has frequently been called out for holding up broadband competition and competitive pricing. Today, however the Government announced new powers for the regulator to tackle these problems.
