What???!?!??!

Where'd this 68% number come from? Only 70-odd percent of Australian  
households even have broadband Internet connections AT ALL, and my  
experience with small business and SOHO users is that most of them can  
barely use email, let alone install BitTorrent clients.

Linkage please! Or I call shenanigans.

Or are you taking as gospel the inflated numbers touted by the Big End  
of Town Music and Movie Industries?
