The European Commission wants to raise broadband Internet penetration in the European Union to 30 percent in 2010 from 20 percent today in an effort to drive economic growth, its top telecoms regulator said on Wednesday.
Information Society Commissioner Viviane Reding said only eight of the bloc’s 27 member states were ahead of the United States in broadband use, with Denmark, Finland, the Netherlands and Sweden having nearly a third of homes hooked up.
“These EU countries, together with the United Kingdom, Belgium, Luxembourg and France, all had broadband penetration rates higher than the United States in July 2007,” Reding said in her annual update on competition in telecom markets.

SES NYC Day 2 Keynote - Nick Carr “The Big Switch”
SES New York is in full swing. The energy level of the show is very good - with a buzz reminiscent of a few years ago. I really like the way the new format is shaping up. The sponsored session about Google Analytics and Website Optimizer were packed, with people covering every inch of floor space. There seems to be a lot of interest in unfiltered information from the leading companies in the space. The solo session (versus panel) format is also holding its own, with high attendance and positive response from the audience.
Nick Carr’s keynote kicked off the day with a discussion based on his new book “The Big Switch”.

SEW Experts: Uncovering the Real Universal Search
There appears to be a lot more non-text results showing up in Google searches than many people expect. The effects this will have on searchers, and advertisers, may be a bit disturbing to some. In today’s Searching for Meaning column, “Uncovering the Real Universal Search,” Kevin Ryan looks at some new data on universal search that comScore shared at SES New York.

Is Google Becoming a Portal?
Google has long held that it is not a portal. Concerns of publishers wary of giving away their content to Google for free have always been met with the response that Google is simply making it easier for people to find the publisher’s content.
So what happens if Google stops sending searchers to other publishers’ sites? What if Google starts sending people to its own content? Apparently they already have.
According to new data shared at an Orion Panel on universal search at SES New York yesterday by James Lamberti, senior VP of search and media at comScore, Google is showing more universal results than people might think, and it’s starting to have an effect on searchers’ click patterns, on both organic results and ads.
Lamberti said that in just one week in January, out of 1.2 billion search queries in the U.S., there were 220 million universal search results.
