High-Speed Internet on the Rise

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) recently released its data concerning the overall penetration of high-speed Internet connections in America. To gather this information, the FCC asks providers to give some basic information a couple of times a year.

As of June 30, 2007, it seems that high-speed connections increased by 22 percent "from 82.8 million to 100.9 million lines in service, following a 27 percent increase, from 65.3 million to 82.8 million lines, during the second half of 2006." What's interesting is that many of the "advanced" high-speed connections are to homes and domestic residences. And while there are over 100 million broadband connections, it seems that America is still ranked 15th in terms of the scope of its broadband use.
