Broadband access in Singapore

We are following up up on two stories that we had recently, namely the fascinating story in a recent Fortune magazine about the supremacy of Korea in broadband (http://asiabusinessconsulting.blogspot.com/2004/09/korea-to-surpass-us-in-digital.html), something, that the country also wants to develop way further and increase the speed of the internet 50 times by 2010 (http://asiabusinessconsulting.blogspot.com/2004/09/internet-to-be-50-times-faster-by-2010.html).

Singapore in Southeast Asia, however, the tiny country of 4.5 million, is also holding up in broadband development. Almost 40 per cent of the households hooked up to the internet via broadband technology - and the government intends to develop ways to penetration rates further by developing alternative broadband technologies that would give faster and cheaper services.
