I'm researching the growth of broadband over the past 12 and 24
months. I need to know what percentage of homes had broadband in the
home in 2004, 2005, and the forecast for 2006 and 2007. I need the
same for digital cable penetration. And I need the same for mobile
phone penetration.

Do you need worldwide data? If not, it would help if we knew whether
you have a particular nation in mind.
