Re: broadband on Italy, I didn't want to weigh in given an Italian obviously has more lived experience of it than me. But the reason mobile broadband takeup is so high is that loads of people still don't have fixed broadband because it's often still prohibitively expensive or difficult to get.
Anecdotal, but when I lived in Verona the only internet in my flat was through my landlady's mobile phone because she said broadband was too expensive. I was lucky in that if I put my laptop in one corner of the room I could connect to a Vodafone public Wi-Fi network. I had to pay them €29.95 a month for the privilege though.
