The future
Europe still has some way to go to match Far East broadband coverage

Broadband is set to get even faster, with video-quality bandwidth expected by 2010.

Services will increasingly come bundled with telephony and TV. High-definition television over broadband networks is likely.

Future services will include video-on-demand and time-shifted TV.
