Posted by samzenpus on from the growing-faster dept.

An anonymous reader writes "China already is rapidly approaching the United States as the country with the largest number of broadband subscribers, according to the El Segundo, Calif.-based firm, and by the end of the year, China is expected to have 34 million subscribers, compared to 39 million in the United States. By the end of 2007, China is expected to have 57 million broadband subscribers, compared to 54 million in the United States, with an even wider lead in the years to follow."

    The infamous "Great Firewall" does censor "politically incorrect" contents, but everything else you are free to do whatever you want; e.g. BT mp3/pirated sf like hell. No one really give a fuck with it. In US you always worried of **AA after you ass, or get sure with DMCA mysteriously when you try to excise your fair use right.
