According to a report by CCW Research, a survey institution, 62 percent of the families in eight downtown districts in Beijing were connected to the Internet, about three times of the 21.9 percent in the rural part of Beijing.

Broadband Internet access dominated the market in Beijing, as 63.8 percent of Beijing homes had access to Internet through broadband network.

The number of homes in Beijing is estimated at 3 million, and there are about 11 million people in Beijing, according to the latest census conducted three years ago.
