Worldwide Broadband Penetration

Telecom Paper have a report out about broadband penetration. You have to have a sub to read it from this link but someone reproduced it here. Take some uppers before viewing as you will be depressed.

Ain't it funny? ComReg, in their most recent propaganda, said they did not like to make the international comparisons with "broadband subscriptions per 100 inhabitants" (which is the internationally most used comparative measure for broadband penetration) – and they would rather talk about Ireland's 10 per 100 household broadband connectivity.
An effective but still pathetic attempt to make people subconsciously compare the Irish 10% "household penetration" with the other countries' "per capita penetration". Which would make Ireland not look sooo terribly bad.

And now we get this nice international "per household broadband penetration" graph. How does Ireland's 10 per 100 households column look like?
