McKinsey Quarterly: Making Sense of Broadband

Excellent, detailed report taking a look at the growth of broadband globally. Lots of charts. The analysis makes the basic point that, despite the death of several broadband service providers during the dotcom bust and the continued lack of a "killer app" to further spur the need for high-speed access, broadband adoption among consumers continues to grow steadily in every developed nation, a trend that the report suggests should continue for some time, which should have important implications for many industries.
