Broadband sees an unprecedented surge in Russia

Broadband internet has come of age and that too in a really big way. After taking the major developed countries by storm, such as United Kingdom, United States of America, France, Germany, Canada, Australia etc , Broadband internet is also strengthening its foothold in Russia. The capital city Moscow and the major financial hub St. Petersburg already had adequate broadband infrastructure but it’s the rising demand and use of high speed broadband in the central areas of Chelyabinsk and Izhevsk that’s creating the real news. Basically the usage of Broadband internet in the region has increased to 62% in both regions. In the year 2008, broadband coverage in Chelyabinsk stood at 45% while it stood at 55% in Izhevsk.
If observed keenly, one will find that the usage rate of broadband internet in Chelyabinsk and Izhevsk is only marginally behind the usage rate of broadband internet in Moscow (71%) and almost equal to the usage rate in St. Petersburg.

Ufa and Penza, situated to the west of the Ural mountains have a usage rate of approximately 55%. The population in both the regions is between five lakh and one million. This means that a substantial number of people are making use of high speed broadband in the region and that is a good sign for future economic development there.

So what is it that has bought about this broadband revolution? According to Konstantin Ankilov of IKS, the real reason behind this unprecedented increase is the cut throat competition among the broadband service providers which has led to huge reductions in cost, thereby making the broadband internet affordable.
