There's a high correlation between broadband
and income levels that
probably has more to do with it.
Not worldwide I assume, broadband availability seems to depend on
geographic conditions.
In some areas broadband isn't available at all, like in small Japanese
peripheral islands. ADSL is the possible fastest mean for connection.
On the other hand, in urban areas, there is no or little price
difference between broadband and other means, specially if the former
is equipped by building owners or such.
Geographic differences indeed! In the UK, we consider ADSL to be a
type of broadband connection. This highlights the importance of making
sure different figures use the same definitions before comparing them.
