1. Introduction

This report continues the series of Point Topic’s quarterly World Broadband Statistics

publications. The series originated as several DSL reports, first published in Q2 2002,

which were eventually expanded to include cable modem and other technologies in

Q2 2003.

Other technologies covered include optical fibre and different forms of broadband

Internet such as, for example, Fixed Wireless Access (FWA), Satellite and Powerline.

Fibre in this context means anything from Fibre-to-the-kerb to Fibre-to-the-home

and is often generalised as "FTTx.”

Mobile broadband is undoubtedly taking off in many countries where 3G or

WiFi/WiMAX networks are used as an alternative or complementary to fixed-line

broadband access. To address the importance of this new development, Point Topic

embarked on a special wireless broadband project in Q3 2006 with the aim of including more comprehensive coverage of wireless subscriber numbers in our

quarterly broadband statistics report. Throughout this data collation process, we

found that the figures are still very much restricted to certain geographical regions.

Consequently, it remains too early for wireless subscriber data to be examined in

depth within the world broadband statistics analysis. However, as far as available,

2. Global and Regional Perspectives

2.1 Overall Growth

By the end of Q1 2009 there were 429.2 million broadband subscribers worldwide.

This represented a 4.02 per cent increase on Q4 2008 when the total was 412.6

million. Figure 1 shows quarterly net additions from Q2 2006 to Q1 2009. The largestnumber of net additions was in Q1 2007 when 19.6 million new subscribers signed

up for broadband services.

2.2 Regional Trends

The world’s broadband subscribers by region are shown in figure 2 and quarterlygrowth by region coupled with population is shown in figure 3. Western Europe and

South and East Asia have the largest shares of the world broadband market at 25.18

per cent and 23.07 per cent respectively. These were followed by North America

with a 21.79 per cent share and Asia Pacific with 15 per cent of the market. The

three smallest shares of the broadband market are in Latin America (6.5 per cent),

Eastern Europe (5 per cent) and Middle East and Africa (2.94 per cent).

Each globe in figure 3 represents a worldwide region. The position of the globes with

respect to the horizontal axis is a measure of population penetration. Their position

with respect to the vertical axis is a measure of quarterly growth. The size of each

globe is a measure of the population in each region. South East Asia is represented

by a much larger globe than the others because it includes the two most populated

countries in the world, namely China and India. Both countries have populations

which exceed 1 billion each.

North America and Western Europe are towards the right of the graph because they

had the highest penetration rates at 28.3 per cent and 27.1 per cent respectively.Asia Pacific followed with a penetration rate of 10 per cent at the end of Q1 2009

and Eastern Europe was next at 7.4 per cent. The three least developed regions in

terms of broadband had the lowest penetration rates. These were Latin America (5.8

per cent), South East Asia (3.7 per cent) and Middle East and Africa (2.9 per cent).

Growth rates tended to be higher in countries with more potential for growth. These

countries form a cluster towards the top left of the graph in figure 3. Latin America

had the highest growth rate at almost 6.6 per cent, followed by South East Asia with

a growth rate of 6 per cent. Next was Eastern Europe with a 5.75 per cent growth

rate and Middle East and Africa was in fourth place with a 4.4 per cent growth rate

at end Q1 2009.

The regions with the most mature and advanced broadband markets had the lowest

growth rates during Q1 2009. They were North America (3.87 per cent), Western

Figure 4: Regional Share of World Broadband Net Additions in Q4 2008

China is the leading country in this region and worldwide, acquiring 4.72 million new

subscribers alone. This represents 84 per cent of South and East Asia’s net additions

and 28 per cent of the global total. The newly merged China Unicom (Hong Kong) Ltd

acquired the most new subscribers overall, totalling 2.73 million. This represents 48

The next largest share was attained by Latin America at over 1.7 million new

subscribers representing 10 per cent of the total. The countries with the most new

broadband subscribers were Mexico (754,500 new subscribers), Brazil (552,400 new

subscribers), Colombia (124,000 new subscribers) and Peru (111,600 new

subscribers). The top performing operators were Brazilian-based Telemar with 1.97

million new subscribers (including those belonging to newly acquired Brazil

Telecom), Mexican operator Telmex with 512,000 new subscribers, Brazilian

operator NET Servicos with 235,000 new subscribers and the Telefonica subsidiaries

in Peru (110,000) and Brazil (101,400).

Eastern Europe and Asia Pacific acquired a similar number of net additions at 1.28

million (8 per cent) and 1.15 million (7 per cent) respectively. The top Asia Pacific

countries were Australia (411,500), Japan (306,000) and South Korea (234,840). In

Eastern Europe the countries that did well were Russia (469,500), Poland (178,400),

Czech Republic (152,300) and Ukraine (117,000).

Operators in Asia Pacific that acquired the most new subscribers during the quarter

included Australian incumbent Telstra (395,000), Japanese operator NTT East and

West (312,000) and South Korean operator Powercom (117,600). The Eastern

European operators that did well included UKR Telecom (107,000), Telefonica O2

Czech Republic (87,700), Volga Telecom (87,100) and Northwest Telecom (65,000),

both based in Russia.

The smallest number of net additions was acquired in the Middle East and Africa at

FTTx




The relatively low number of FTTx connections is an illustration of the potential for

growth in this market, since the highest quarterly growth was in this type of

technology. FTTx connections grew by 5.69 per cent from 50.5 million connections in

Q4 2008. Both DSL and cable modem connections grew by almost the same rate at

3.7 per cent (from 267.46 million) and 3.76 per cent (from 85.5 million) respectively.

The rate of quarterly growth compared to that in Q4 2008 was up for DSL and FTTx

connections but down for cable modem connections. Cable modem growth was

down 1.31 per cent from 3.81 per cent while growth of DSL connections was up 3

per cent from 3.59 per cent in Q1 2009. FTTx growth showed the greatestimprovement, up almost 20 per cent from 4.77 per cent in Q4 2008.

Figure 7 shows the market shares by region of DSL, cable modem and FTTx

connections. Both Western Europe and South and East Asia have the majority of DSL

connections with market shares at 32.23 per cent (89.4 million) and 27.6 per cent

(76.5 million) respectively. The countries in these regions which made the largest

impact on the DSL market include Germany (21.6 million), France (16.9 million), UK

(13.9 million), Italy (12 million), Spain (7.2 million) and India (4.9 million). With 67.87

million subscribers, China has the largest DSL subscriber base in the world,

representing 24 per cent of total DSL subscribers worldwide.

North America had the next largest share of this market, which at 14 per cent

represented almost 39 million DSL connections. The USA had the most DSL

connections totalling 34.65 million - which represents over 12 per cent of all DSL

The DSL markets in all regions grew positively with the exception of one. The DSL

subscriber base in Asia Pacific fell by 0.3 per cent from 29.35 million in Q4 2008 to

29.27 million in Q1 2009. The Asia Pacific countries that experienced a fall in their

DSL subscriber bases over the quarter included Japan (down 3.54 per cent), South

Korea (down 2.43 per cent) and Taiwan (down 3.89 per cent). The largest increase

was experienced in Australia (up 7.59 per cent).

The DSL subscriber base in Eastern Europe grew by the highest rate at 6.64 per cent

from 11.8 million to 12.6 million in Q1 2009. Countries in this region with significant

DSL market growth included Czech Republic (13 per cent), Ukraine (20.75 per cent),Russia (8.3 per cent) and Macedonia (7.48 per cent).

South and East Asia followed with a 6 per cent growth rate from 72.2 million to 76.5

million. Countries which experienced good positive growth of their DSL subscriber

bases included India (12.5 per cent), Pakistan (11.5 per cent), Vietnam (6.9 per cent)

and China (5.64 per cent).

In Latin America, the number of DSL subscribers grew by 5.49 per cent from 18million to 19 million. All the Latin American countries with 500,000 or more DSL

subscribers experienced positive growth. They included Mexico (10.3 per cent), Peru

(6 per cent), Colombia (4.12 per cent) and Brazil (4 per cent).

The only other region with growth above 4 per cent was the Middle East and Africa.

The DSL subscribers in this region grew from 11 million to 11.5 million during the

quarter. North America and Western Europe had the lowest positive quarterly




as VDSL. It should also be noted that the FTTx subscriber bases in these countries

remains relatively small (the majority are within the range 35,000 – 570,000) and as

a result a relatively small number of net additions will make a large difference to the

growth rates.

The Western European countries with the highest FTTx growth were France (20 per

cent), Denmark (18.7 per cent), Norway (16 per cent) and Germany (14 per cent). In

North America, the FTTx market in the USA grew by 9.66 per cent from 3.4 million to

3.7 million.

FTTx subscribers in South and East Asia grew by 5.76 per cent, followed by Asia

Pacific (5 per cent), Latin America (4 per cent) and Eastern Europe (3.94 per cent).




4. “Top Ten” Broadband Countries

4.1 Number of Subscribers

The ‘top ten’ countries in terms of total broadband subscribers as of Q4 2008 and Q1

2009 are shown in figure 8. Since it displaced the USA in Q2 2008 China has

maintained its number one position, pushing the USA down to second place.

There were 88.08 million subscribers in China, up 5.66 per cent on the previousquarter from 83.37 million. There were 83.97 million subscribers in the USA, up 4.14

per cent on the previous quarter from 80.63 million. Subscribers in China and the

USA represent over 40 per cent of the worldwide broadband market.

The difference between the number of subscribers in China and the USA in Q1 2009

was 4.71 million, compared with 2.73 million in Q4 2008 and 3.6 million in Q3 2008.

While there are early indications that the subscriber base in China is growing at a

faster rate than that in the US, it is still too soon to tell to any great extent. We will

continue to monitor this difference closely.

Figure 8: Total Number of Subscribers in Q4 2008 and Q1 2009




were uncharacteristically low and almost 50 per cent less than that total in Q3 2008

(5.16 million).

China and the USA were the only countries to acquire more than 1 million new

broadband subscribers. Germany was in third place with 946,200 new subscribers –

down by almost 4.52 per cent on the previous quarter from 991,000. The top three

countries combined added over 54 per cent of net additions for the quarter.

Of the top ten countries shown in figure 9, five added more new subscribers in Q1

2009 than they did in Q4 2008. These countries were China, the USA (up 0.33 per

cent), India (up 48 per cent from 486,589), Brazil (up 34 per cent from 411,569) and

Australia (up 52.69 per cent from 269,500).

The remaining countries added less new subscribers quarter-on-quarter. They were

Germany, Mexico (down 18 per cent from 920,465), France (down 10 per cent from

573,393), Russia (down 26.56 per cent from 639,335) and Japan (down 27.66 per

cent from 423,000).

Sri Lanka had the highest quarterly growth at 18 per cent, representing 18,000 new

subscribers added. This was 7,000 more subscribers than in the previous quarter

when 11,000 new subscribers were added by Sri Lanka Telecom. Sri Lanka improved

its position from the previous quarter when it was in seventh place. Belarus was

down from first place to second, with 16.8 per cent growth. Despite the fall in its

position, net additions were up on the previous quarter from 42,000 to 61,000.

Bahrain was in third place with 16.16 per cent growth, adding 15,000 new

subscribers during Q1 2009. This was down on the previous quarter from 16,000 new

subscribers.

Ukraine was in fourth position, up from ninth position in the previous quarter.

Quarterly growth stood at 15.18 per cent, with net additions totalling 117,000. This

was up on the previous quarter from 136,500. Three operators contributed to the

net addition total, namely UKR Telecom, Voila and Comstar – Ukraine.

Malta was fifth with 13.54 per cent growth, and at 15,500, Malta added the smallest

number of net additions out of those countries shown in figure 10. However, thiswas up on the previous quarter when 12,118 net additions were reported and Malta

improved its position from ninth place in Q4 2008.

Out of those countries in figure 10, Mexico added the largest number of new

subscribers over the quarter (754,531) followed by India (721,753) and Ukraine

(117,000). There were six new entrants compared with the previous quarter, namely

Bahrain, Ukraine, India, Tunisia, Luxembourg and Egypt. The countries pushed out of




In terms of annual growth shown in figure 11, Indonesia was in first place for the

third quarter running with 142 per cent annual growth. This represents 424,000 net

additions, up on the previous year from 176,179 net additions. Belarus also

maintained its position in second place with 124.6 per cent growth. Annual net

additions in Belarus totalled 162,000, up on the previous year from 86,000. Ukraine

was in third place with 84.42 per cent growth, representing 406,500 net additions.

This was also an improvement on the previous year from 257,000 new subscribers.

Two countries added over 1 million new subscribers during the 12 months to Q1

2009. They were Mexico with 62.7 per cent annual growth and 3.1 million netadditions, and India with 68.47 per cent growth and 2.5 million net additions. There

were three new entrants compared to the previous to ten. They were Ukraine,

Tunisia and Egypt. Vietnam, Greece and Jordan were pushed out of the top ten as a

result.

Cable modem was the next most popular method used for broadband connections

with over 66.3 million connections (21.37 per cent of the total) followed by FTTx with

47 million connections (15.16 per cent of the total).

China has the majority of DSL subscribers at 67.88 million and the majority of FTTx

subscribers at 20.1 million. The USA has the majority of cable modem subscribers

totalling 42.67 million. This represents 13.75 per cent of the total in the top ten and

over 50 per cent of the country total.

FTTx is a relatively new technology, but nevertheless had a significant presence in a

number of countries in the top ten. These included China, Japan (15.1 million

subscribers), South Korea (6.9 million subscribers) and the USA (3.7 million

subscribers).

5. Methodology and Supporting Material

5.1 Data Collection

Point Topic aims to offer the most complete, up-to-date and accurate source for

world broadband statistics and estimates. In order to do this, we collect quarterly

statistics from major primary suppliers of DSL lines, cable modems and FTTx services.

We also collate data from service providers which resell products provided by these

primary suppliers. Many operators now publish quarterly numbers as part of their

regular reporting cycle. Numerous others provide us with their numbers via email

and personal communication. We are, as always, most grateful to all of them for

having taken the time to do so.

Many operators continue to release annual reports as opposed to quarterly ones.

Some also choose to aggregate subscriber trends into overall totals, avoiding break-

downs by technology. In these cases, Point Topic has continued conservativelyestimating broadband up-take. Key sources for such estimated totals typically

include prior and partial reports by the operators themselves. National Regulatory

Authorities (NRAs) also frequently report DSL and other broadband statistics,

although often with a greater time delay. Despite any difficulties that may arise as a

consequence of this publication schedule, Point Topic will continue to provide the

most up-to-date broadband statistics and estimates in our reports. In cases where




5.2 Variations in Coverage and Definitions

In principle, the definition of broadband Internet refers to connections with speedsof no less than 256 Kbps. For DSL statistics, all lines which are described by their

suppliers as "DSL" are included. In practice the great majority of these are ADSL,

variants such as ADSL2+ or other such versions of ADSL. The main exceptions are:

VDSL lines, of which Korea Telecom and Hanaro are the major reporting suppliers

Symmetrical DSL lines, offered mainly by Competitive Local Exchange Carriers

such as Covad in the USA and their counterparts in other countries

Occasionally, there are contradictions between operator and regulator reports. This

happens in South Korea, for example, where the operators typically report

broadband subscriptions as either DSL or cable modem, whereas the regulator

chooses to break this down further down into an "apartment LAN" or "A-LAN"

category. A-LAN is defined as using a shared fibre or broadband copper connection

to the apartment block with Ethernet-based distribution within the apartment block.

Operator classifications of these A-LAN subscriptions vary, but they are often

included as DSL lines. We have classified all these A-LAN lines as FTTx, although a

proportion of them do use copper rather than fibre backhaul.

Other reported statistics may combine broadband lines of different technology

types. If a number is an aggregate of major broadband types, such as DSL and cable

modem, we generally break up such an aggregate and state uptake for each category
