Basic math too hard for you?

Apparently it's too hard for you also.

So 226 million adults.
50% of adults are married.

So 113 million individual households.

(the amazing thing is that even though his math is off, his wrong answer is admirably close -- »www.census.gov/population/www/so···007.html has 117 Million households in the USA.)

Still, the broadband reports on the subject generally compare the have and have-nots and these use various numbers and ways to say.

Who has (60-65%): Cities, Upper Income, Older
Who has not (25-33%): Rural, Low Income, Younger

And that's part of the problem of waiting for "the market" to solve it -- the "have nots" are the most expensive to reach, the most likely not to subscribe at any price, and least able to pay regularly. Meanwhile, more and more typical services are delivered on the net -- registering for college, applying for jobs, hell -- just doing your high-school homework!

300 million people.
of which 74 million are children.

So 226 million adults.
50% of adults are married.

So 113 million individual households.

1/6 of them is 15 million households.

How many of them do now want or cannot afford broadband?

what percentage doesn't own a computer?

What percentage does not want a computer?
