Israel is home to a burgeoning tech industry, however the country’s broadband infrastructure hasn’t really been capable of keep pace. In the case of broadband penetration, surely, Israel ranks just 21st out of 34 developed nations, in keeping with statistics gathered by the OECD. All this can be changing, however, now that the country’s state-run electric company has announced plans to create a brand new national broadband network. In line with the AP, the forthcoming network will use so-called fiber to the house ( FTTH ) technology, that is able to providing connections at speeds of between 100Mbps and 1Gbps. That could be about ten to 100 times faster than the connections most Israelis have today, and will offer obvious benefits to a wide range of companies and industries. The electrical company is aiming to have 10 percent of the rustic connected to its new network by next year, and to have two-thirds covered inside the next seven years.
