Point Topic just released the final numbers for 2005, and what a bumper year it was for DSL. You will see the usual suspects there, as the graphic shows, but the big stories are not reported anywhere.

* Turkey was one of the stars of 2005, adding more than 1 million lines to a total of 1.54 million
* Mexico was another adding 900,000 to pass 1.6 million.
* There are growing signs of saturation among the countries with higher penetration, even in Europe. Belgium, the Nethrlands and Switzerland.
