| Squilliam said: I understand average, but in this case the best indication would be an upperquartile bandwidth level. Blu Ray can only really sell to those who have an HDTV and streamed movies can only sell to those who have a fast internet connection. The reason why the upper quartile is the important statistic here is because it counts those people who likely have a strong interest in streaming media and are therefore likely to be early adopters of the technology. |
But how much of the intended media market is actually represented by the upper quartile of that distribution? I mean, Japan and France are in there and that's great. But Finland, Sweden, Portugal and Netherland can have all the bandwidth of the world, but for demographic reasons they won't constitute much of a sizely market :)
A better indication would be a weighted bandwidth average, the weights being the media market shares of the various countries.
