Mobile broadband won't overtake fixed-line yet

Forrester Research says mobile broadband will become increasingly popular but it won't replace fixed-line broadband services in the near future. It says speed, coverage and monthly allowances will give fixed broadband an edge for several more years. Mobile broadband is expected to grow to 27% percent of all connections in Europe by the end of 2013, with fixed dropping to 67% (falling 21% in the next five years). 10% of users are expected to have both types of service.
