| Only 4% have no access? I'm not buying that at all.
Only 4% of Americans have no access to broadband.
Sounds like they're including Satellite or EDGE as "Broadband."
Either that or I know a lot of people in that 4%!

1 edit | I would guess 4% have no internet access available at all. (including dialup) due to poor phonelines, mountians or other satellite obstructions, and lack or cell or other wireless options.
take out satellite, cell and lower speed wireless I think the numbers of people without BROADBAND AVAILABLITY currently must be MUCH higher, let alone economic barriers to universal service. |

hmmmmm.......
4% of 200 million equals only 8 million that is a bit low.
or is it households... 2007 estimate: 111,162,259 huseholds in US. 4% would be 4,446,490.36 households
still a bit low in my opinion must have got that number from the big carriers like att or version.
