According to a new report from Research and Markets, 80% of households with a computer will have broadband by 2010.

At the end of 2006 there were 16.6 million internet connections - 3.2 million dial-up and 13.4 million broadband connections.

The report suggests that consumers will become increasingly aware of the services available via broadband, leading to increased demand for faster connectivity speeds.

However, Research and Markets expects overall DSL ARPU (average revenue per user) to remain at similar levels until 2010, due to increased competition between service providers.

Research and Markets expects the increase in broadband connections to help increase the take-up of IPTV. However, because of popular alternatives, such as DTT, satellite TV and cable TV, IPTV uptake will remain relatively low.
