Home broadband speed Impacts household income

Ericsson, in conjunction with Arthur D. Little and Chalmers University of Technology, today releases results of a joint study on the economic effects of broadband access speed on households. This household-level (microeconomic) study reveals thresholds for the minimum speed upgrade needed to provide a statistically significant impact on household income. These thresholds are different for OECD (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development)and BIC (Brazil, India and China) countries.
