EU reports an increase in broadband Internet lines

BRUSSELS -- The European Union says 6 million more people in the bloc signed up to broadband Internet access over the last year. It said Wednesday there were 119 million broadband subscriptions across the 27-nation EU in July 2009, up from 113 million a year earlier. That means that that nearly one in four people in the EU, or 23.9 percent, can access the Web at higher speeds — far off an EU goal for one in three households to have broadband by 2010. Nearly 40 percent of people in Denmark and the Netherlands have broadband access, the highest rates in the world.
