Speaking at the Broadband World Forum Asia, Zhao said that by the end of 2005, 74 percent of world broadband users were located in developed countries and 17.5 percent in China.

 

The number of domestic broadband subscribers has hit 50 million -- 30 million for China Telecom and 20 million for China Netcom.
