The statistics let out by the International Telecommunication Union reveals a few of the Countries as been forced to make a payment much beyond in all probability, for a broadband connection. This reportedly would also have an impact on the quantity of subscriptions.

Even as the research shows less than 30% users at price below 1% of the standard income for a month accessing the broadband in the UK, the report in India claims less than 1% access, at a fee of 5.84%.

Meanwhile, China can maintain only 7.7 % breach having a charge of 7.19 % for the income a month, when put next to the 33.8% access at a 1.41% charge, claimed by South Korea.

Additionally, Dr Hamadoun Touré, the Secretary General of the ITU, stress on the importance of the broadband. This becomes a major criterion. He adds that the broadband will add on to the economic and social development in the 21st century.

ITU asserts that 30 countries cover broadband as an aspect of their worldwide access/service definition. This would definitely make it a public service, thus making it better available to the people.
