| How many of that %30 What I would be more interested in knowing, would be how many people in that %30 without internet access, have tried it, and given it a fair run, and then said, no I don't need this.
We all know how it took TV awhile to come along too, and there was very little technical know-how needed to go out and buy a TV.
Do we need TV? I doubt it. Do we need the internet? Again, I doubt it. Do we want TV? Most would answer yes. Do we want the internet? Again, most people would say yes.
Frankly, if we could win over that other %30, maybe we could get some decent speeds out here.

Actually, I think when TV's first came out they were quite technical to deal with. They broke a lot also... So I'm sure the 70+ year olds (or maybe 40-50+ year olds at the time!) didn't accept the idea.
Technology comes in generations.... It rarely transverses across generations, but once those generations die off, it is common across all generations... Radio, TV, etc..
