A study by the Oxford University’s Said Business School says that the quality of broadband in the UK is worse than in Malta.
The UK is on 25th place. The broadband connectivity chart is of course led by Korea followed by Japan and Hong Kong. But the Swedes are already on 4th place.

All nations finally need to understand how important high bandwidth is for the future development. Korea knows this since years and plans already for the future. Earlier this year Korea announced investment plans to reach 1Gbps on fixed lines and 10Mbps through wireless by 2012 for consumers.
