Dial-up's 'terminal decline'
Broadband connections in the UK now account for 64% of all connections, up from just 1% in 2001. Speeds are also rising dramatically. These changes are important to you in terms of your new media technologies exam because of the increased capacity for online activity: faster downloads of music, film and TV; on-demand services like NTL:ondemand, which could mean the arguments about future DVD formats become fairly pointless; in general all moving towards a situation where internet connectivity is as commonplace (and as relied upon) as electricity.
It could mean a rise in nostalgia for the beeps and whistles of dial-up modems (please don't pay for this!)
