Looking at figure 7 (non-adoption rates by age group), nearly 30% of those under 30 do not have fixed broadband. From an informal survey of those I know in that age range, they are primarily dependent on their cell phones, cannot live at a fixed address for long enough to adopt fixed broadband solutions, and go to coffee shops and libraries (and the office) to get their connectivity. I am kind of curious as to the trendline here - a cellphone is a must for this generation, quality fixed internet merely a nice to have.
