Information on the current state of broadband development in AMS was obtained via data collected from both primary and secondary research efforts conducted in parallel. For primary research, a detailed survey was submitted to key contracts at the telecom regulatory authorities in each of the 10 AMS. For secondary research, information was collected via sources which included broadband data statistics published publically via reliable sources including Bloomberg, Economist Intelligence Unit, Euromonitor Internation Telecommunications Union (ITU), the OECD, Thomson Research, and the World Bank.
