A news item from Reuters carries information on broadband developments in Europe, and especially Sweden. The core of the story is about a broadband supplier in Sweden (Bredbandsbolaget), which delivers 10Mb broadband for 399 SKr a month (£29.33 or $52.52) - just about the same price that people in the UK are paying for 0.5 Mb ADSL connection. There's more: Bredbandsbolaget will deliver 24Mb for just 100 SKr more (a total of £36.68 or $65.68). Clearly, 'broadband Britain' has a long way to go!
