1 - IDC measures broadband connections as those with a speed of at least
256kbps (ideally it should be 512kbps).

2 - In Kenya, total broadband penetration (excluding mobile broadband which
we presently do not count - but will from 2011) as of end 2009 stood at
0.15%.   A really large chunk of this comprises business BB connections.

3 - Presently Mobile BB may not really ramp up the figures (at least not
more than a quarter of a percentage point i.e. 0.25% ) much since;
a) the devices (USB Modems/Smartphones) that allow speeds of >256kbps are
not that many (and we will soon be tracking these as well),
b) The present coverage of 3G also distorts the true measure of MOBILE
broadband
