  • UK Broadband Subscriptions Grind To A Halt


    16 December, 2008, by Desire Athow

    Our Comments

    The fact that broadband subscription growth has slowed down to near zero was expected. Broadband is now a fully mature technology and zero growth does not mean that broadband lines are not being sold, it just means that there's no substantial increase in the number of subscribers. It will be interesting to find out how mobile broadband fared in the last few months of 2008.
