China will pass US in Broadband Lines by late 2006

Website Optimization has “released a study”:1 that predicts that China is going to have more broadband this year than the US:

bq. China will pass the US in total broadband subscribers by the end of 2006. The US fell to 19th overall in broadband penetration worldwide, and is in danger of being passed by Slovenia in early 2007. Meanwhile, in December 2005 US broadband penetration broke 65% for the first time among active Internet users.

Of interesting note, the study reports that the US has fallen to 19th in the broadband rankings, down from 15th last year.
