Germany's left behind Strategy Analytics says Germany trails badly behind the rest of Europe in broadband adoption. Only 24 percent of German homes will have broadband by the end of 2005, a much lower percentage than other countries. Germanys highly-regulated cable industry - particularly Deutsche Telekom - constrains growth, a new study suggests.
