In Denmark,
1981, were 231 computers from different Danish universities bound together by
the Internet, and 10 years after the numer had increased to 300.000.
In 1996 did 12 percent of the Danish population use the Internet two hours each
week. 88 percent did not use the internet. In July 2007 did 83 percent of the
Danish population, according to Statistics Denmark, have access to the
broadband from their private homes. In a new research by Statistics Denmark in
2010 did the number increase to 91 percent of the Danish population who had
access to the broadband from their personal homes.
This is why
Denmark, studied here in collaboration with Nanna Torp, Peter Ullum, Karoline
Neel and Amalie Arendt, is such an interesting country to look at when it comes
to the broadband and the development. Denmark
was one of the early adopters of broadband and Internet at the same time, and
is now leading the OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and
Development) with a broadband penetration rate of 29,3 subscribers per 100
inhabitants. The broadband rate signifies the amount of the Internet
access market that high speed or broadband Internet has captured.
