Denmark’s fixed broadband population to reach 39% by 2024: Report

New Delhi: Denmark’s fixed broadband penetration of the population will reach 39% by 2024, supported by its National Broadband Strategy, GlobalData said in a report.

The country is close to delivering its targets, with fixed broadband coverage approaching 100% of households – up from 92% in 2018, the agency added.

To further stimulate the expansion of 100Mbps broadband, the Ministry of Energy, Power and Climate of Denmark established a $15m fund in May 2019.

“The fund is mainly aimed at providing 100Mbps broadband to underserved areas with low population density, where connectivity does not exceed 10Mbps down- and 2Mbps uplink”, Sergej Gavrilov, Telecoms Market Data and Intelligence Analyst at GlobalData, said in a statement.
