Malaysia top 2 world broadband penetration

According to Deputy Prime Minister of Malaysia we have 67% of broadband penetration in Malaysia as of September 2013. Is this figure surprising? Since broadband can be wired and wireless network, I would assume the huge penetration was from mobile broadband/ wireless internet. I will not be surprised if this number was from Smartphone makers like Apple and Samsung.

Malaysia came in second among 26 nations with resource and efficiency-driven economies in the Connectivity Scorecard 2013. — The Star Online

Malaysia has 29,457,0001 populations and does it mean 67% of the population are currently connected to the internet via broadband? Male or female active on the internet?

  1. Wow! We are second? Really? But no point coming in second when the broadband speed is slow and expensive compared to other countries!
