More than two million people in Europe now have fibre broadband direct to their home, suggests a survey.
The latest figures on superfast broadband delivered by fibre to the home(FTTH)shows 18% growth over the last survey compiled in late 2008.
The continued growth suggests that the global economic downturn has not hit plans to build a fibre infrastructure(基础设施).
Sweden tops the list of nations rolling out the technology, with 10.9% of its broadband customers using fibre.
Karel Helsen, president of Europe’s Fibre-To-The-Home Council, said the growth matched predictions that were revised when the credit crunch(信用紧缩)started to make itself felt.
"The numbers in 2009 are in line with the latest forecasts," said Mr. Helsen.
By 2012, the FTTH Council expects that 13 million people across 35 European nations will have their broadband delivered by fibre. Such services would start at speeds of 100 megabits per second(mbps), said Mr. Helsen.
Around Europe more than 233 projects were underway to lay the fibres that would connect homes or buildings to the net, said Mr. Helsen. Many of those, he said, were being operated by local governments or smaller net firms.
Local governments were interested in FTTH because of the economic and social benefits it brought in its wake, said Mr. Helsen.
The low latency or delay inherent in high-speed fibre networks made possible novel uses of broadband, he said. "No delay is very important," he said, "specifically if you talk about applications that are time-dependent such as personal communications, conference calls or video calls where delays cause a lot of interference."
While early FTTH services were concentrated in cities, said Mr. Helsen, many more were reaching out to rural areas for e-health and e-learning projects.
Separate studies show that an FTTH infrastructure can have a direct impact on local economic output, said Mr. Helsen.
The UK, France and Germany have yet to break into the list of top ten FTTH nations.
TOP FIBRE NATIONS:
1)Sweden -10.9% 2)Norway - 10.2% 3)Slovenia - 8.9% 4)Andorra - 6.6% 5)Denmark-5.7% 6)Iceland - 5.6% 7)Lithuania - 3.3% 8)Netherlands - 2.5% 9)Slovakia - 2.5% 10)Finland - 2.4%
Superfast broadband delivered by fibre saves users of instant communication from delays which______.
选项
答案
cause a lot of interference
解析
空所在部分为定语从句,which为主语,指代delays,故空应填谓语动词(短语),时态是一般现在时。根据题干中的communication和delays定位到第十段引言部分。题干中instantcommunication是对原文personal communications,conference calls or videocalls的概括,from…对应where引导的地点状语从句,故从句动宾短语即为答案。
