The report found that the penetration of cable and ADSL has risen in all 15 Member States, except in the UK and Ireland, which remained flat between October 2000 and June 2001.

Wow, thats such a shock. No, honestly...

By 2010, say the report, fibre optic could account for a third of all Internet connections to EU homes and small and medium sized businesses.

Quite. Also, by 2015 pigs will be genetically engineered with wings.


It would be funny if it wasnt so serious

actually come places in holland and germany allready have this in practise.
It would have to be heavly goverment funded.
Still i dont see it by 2010.

I allways, from the start of the english one, predicted 2002 for adsl, cable and friaco. i never thought for one moment we would see it before then, not even when eircom were talking about friaco about 2-3 years back
