Dave, for IP,

from The Bandwidth Report by Andy King at Web Site Optimization

At its current growth rate of over 90% per year, China will pass the
US in total broadband subscribers by late 2006 to become the largest
broadband country in the world. The US has fallen to 19th overall in
household broadband penetration, and is in danger of being passed by
Slovenia in early 2007. Israel leads all Middle Eastern and African
countries, and is the third country overall in broadband penetration.
Hong Kong leads the Pacific Rim, with a broadband penetration rate of
over 73%. Meanwhile, in December 2005 the US passed 65% in broadband
penetration among active Internet users.
