A 2009 study by the World Bank found that a 10% increase in fixed broadband penetration boosts a developing economy’s GDP by about 1.4%. These findings likely vastly understate the impact of the technology; after all, much of the developing world is seeing a rapid rollout of mobile broadband, with much higher capacity than what was available at the time of the study.
世界银行的一份2009年的研究发现，固定宽带渗透率增加10%能够提振发展中经济体GDP增加1.4%左右。这些发现可能大大低估了这项技术的影响；毕竟，许多发展中国家移动宽带迅速普及，而移动宽带的力量比这份研究所处的时代大得多。
