\"Broadband<\/a>A recent Gartner<\/a> report was cited in a Network World<\/a><\/em> article that claims Broadband to reach 77% of U.S. households by 2012. <\/span><\/em>Gartner states that U.S. Broadband penetration will increase to 77% of U.S. households by 2012. The market research firm is basing this projection on emerging 4G wireless services<\/a> as WiMAX<\/a> and Long Term Evolution<\/a> (LTE). Both technologies are expected to be launched over the next four years.<\/p>\n

Based on Gartner’s projections, the U.S. will be in a 5th place tie worldwide with Japan for broadband penetration. The 2012 leaders will be South Korea (97%), the Netherlands (82%), Hong Kong (81%), and Canada (79%).<\/p>\n

According to the Network World<\/em> article, the current U.S. broadband services subscription rate is just above 50%.<\/p>\n
