New definition of householdsOpen and readClose

From the 4th quarter of 2014, household figures from 1 January 2014 are used. The general increase in population and households reduces the penetration rate for private broadband by 1.5 percentage points. Additionally, another 1.5 pp reduction is caused by a new way of treating students. Even unmarried students are now registered in households at the place they study.
