Increased broadband speed boosts economic growth: Study
TT Correspondent |  |  27 Sep 2011

During a keynote speech at Broadband World Forum 2011 in Paris, Wibergh said: "We expect a huge increase from the current estimate of around 1 billion people with broadband access to about 5 billion in 2016, most of whom will have mobile broadband. Connectivity and broadband are just a starting point for new ways of innovating, collaborating and socializing."

 

"Until now there has been an absence of hard facts investigating the effects of broadband speed on the economy. This unique empirical study may help governments and other decisions makers in society make more correct tradeoffs and policy choice.", said  Erik Almqvist, Director at Arthur D. Little.
