While dial-up access to the Internet continues its slow death globally, the number of
Internet adults utilizing ‘wired’ broadband connections may also be peaking, according to results released from Ipsos Insight’s annual The Face of the Web study. It is estimated that over three-quarters (77%) of the global online population was utilizing a broadband connection to access the Internet, at the end of 2006, in comparison to just 21% utilizing a dial-up connection. And though the prevalence of broadband access continued its steady growth trend through 2006, growing an additional seven percentage-points from 2005 (70%), the salad days of robust annual growth for broadband penetration may soon be coming to an end.
