Re: Small Number said by pnh102:I remember reading somewhere here that 30% or so of people in the US simply were not interested in broadband service for whatever reason. Joe Barton puts it at less than 5%.

quote:
May, 2010 - Only about 5 percent of U.S. households don't have access to broadband, and many of those households are in rural areas, Barton said during a hearing of the committee's communications and Internet subcommittee.
"My guess is they live in rural areas because they want to," Barton said. "It's at least possible that they don't want all the encumbrances and accoutrements of the modern Internet Age. So even if we forced it on them, they probably wouldn't take it."
