Kyushu Broadband Diffusion Ratio Lags National Average
The Kyushu Bureau of Telecommunications released its report on the diffusion ratio of broadband circuits in the region. The rate of diffusion in households in the seven prefectures is 52.9%, 15.4 percentage points below the national rate of 68.3%. The bureau attributes this to the fewer number of regional companies in the broadband business, and the greater number of outlying islands in the region.
