More than two million people in Europe now have fibre broadband direct to their home, suggests a survey.
The latest figures on superfast broadband delivered by fibre to the home(FTTH)shows 18% growth over the last survey compiled in late 2008.
The continued growth suggests that the global economic downturn has not hit plans to build a fibre infrastructure(基础设施).
Sweden tops the list of nations rolling out the technology, with 10.9% of its broadband customers using fibre.
Karel Helsen, president of Europe’s Fibre-To-The-Home Council, said the growth matched predictions that were revised when the credit crunch(信用紧缩)started to make itself felt.
"The numbers in 2009 are in line with the latest forecasts," said Mr. Helsen.
By 2012, the FTTH Council expects that 13 million people across 35 European nations will have their broadband delivered by fibre. Such services would start at speeds of 100 megabits per second(mbps), said Mr. Helsen.
Around Europe more than 233 projects were underway to lay the fibres that would connect homes or buildings to the net, said Mr. Helsen. Many of those, he said, were being operated by local governments or smaller net firms.
Local governments were interested in FTTH because of the economic and social benefits it brought in its wake, said Mr. Helsen.
The low latency or delay inherent in high-speed fibre networks made possible novel uses of broadband, he said. "No delay is very important," he said, "specifically if you talk about applications that are time-dependent such as personal communications, conference calls or video calls where delays cause a lot of interference."
While early FTTH services were concentrated in cities, said Mr. Helsen, many more were reaching out to rural areas for e-health and e-learning projects.
Separate studies show that an FTTH infrastructure can have a direct impact on local economic output, said Mr. Helsen.
The UK, France and Germany have yet to break into the list of top ten FTTH nations.
TOP FIBRE NATIONS:
1)Sweden -10.9% 2)Norway - 10.2% 3)Slovenia - 8.9% 4)Andorra - 6.6% 5)Denmark-5.7% 6)Iceland - 5.6% 7)Lithuania - 3.3% 8)Netherlands - 2.5% 9)Slovakia - 2.5% 10)Finland - 2.4%
According to Karel Helsen, who were mainly in charge of European’s fibre-laying projects?
选项
答案
Local governments or smaller net firms.
解析
阅读问题可知,本题考查动作的施与者,故答案应为名词(短语)。根据题干中的Karel Helsen和European’s fibre-laying projects定位到第八段。该段第二句主语those指的是上句提到的more than 233 projects,题干中of的宾语European’s fibre-layingprojects与其对应。题干将原文的被动语态转化为主动语态,were…in chargeof与operated同义,故by后动作的施与者即是本题答案。问题为整句,注意答案首字母大写,并在后面加英文句号。
