Is there a standard definition of "broadband penetration" in the industry? </FONT></SPAN>

<DIV id=yiv1234350212yiv1707032407><FONT size=4>1 - IDC measures broadband connections as those with a speed of at least 256kbps (ideally it should be 512kbps). </FONT>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>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.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4><BR></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>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;</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>a) the devices (USB Modems/Smartphones) that allow speeds of >256kbps are not that many (and we will soon be tracking these as well), </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>b) The present coverage of 3G also distorts the true measure of MOBILE broadband </FONT>
