China continues to advance on the world stage
If you’ve been keeping an eye on world ecomonic growth trends forecast by economists like Geoffrey Sachs you’ll know that within a very short few years countries like China and South Korea will overtake the US in terms of economic growth and GDP. So it comes as no surpise that China is investing in broadband connectivity at an unprecedented rate (South Korea is already just about the most broadband connected country in the world with upwards of 90% coverage, and mostly the much faster fibre compared to the US’s mostly copper networks). It is now quite possible that China will pass the U.S. to become the largest broadband market in the world later this year.
