based on the flawed assumption that growth by population VS growth of affordable internet are directly related.

it says "69.3%" of the population of the US is on the internet(not the entire NA region) now the question is, how many of them are getting a connection over 56k ? 128k ? 1024k ? probably a lower percentage then you think(not to mention that is based on a population of under 300m people).

Exactly, why should we care about internet penetration?

I just care about myself getting online, who cares about everyone else or the rest of the world for that matter

Person of the year

All 1.1 billion of us:
»www.internetworldstats.com/stats.htm

P.S.> read the statistics about internet penetration(US 69.3%) and then tell me how the US is trailing the world. Guess what - we aren't. We are leading the world no matter how often BBR news items complain about how the US is trailing the world.

You can drill down thru the stats by clicking on the regions.
