    The Register
    The lack of compelling content is hampering the take-up of broadband in the US, according to the latest research from In-Stat/MDR[sic]. Despite this, those behind the research reckon that by the end of the year nearly one in four of online households will subscribe to a broadband service... At the end of 2001, six out of ten of all US households subscribed to a dial-up or broadband Net service, said In-Stat/MDR.

    Meanwhile, in the UK this week, NO UK-centric killer apps were released:

    A new Oftel study indicates that one-third of dial-up Internet users in the UK are interested in upgrading to broadband services. According to the telecom regulator’s latest report, around three million dial-up consumers claim to be interested in migrating to high-speed services. Currently, seven percent of UK Internet users currently have broadband, up from six percent in May 2002. The number of households with Net access remains unchanged at 42 percent...Around three in five homes with Internet use an unmetered packaged.

    Here was me thinking the internet was anti-Irish!

    Yeah we should take that as Bible.

    640k should be enough for anyone.
    ISDN is Broadband
    Ireland is the E-hub of Europe.

    And as you come into Dublin airport: "welcome to the home of the most advanced telecommunications network" The most inaccessible advanced network.

    To quote Homer
    "Aw, people can come up with statistics to prove anything, Kent. 14 percent of all people know that."
