Broadband Use in the US Doubles Between
2001 - 2003
|
|
Arizona Republic |
|
The number of Americans using fast-Internet
connections doubled from 2001 through late 2003, still below some
expectations and especially low among minority groups and people in rural
areas, according to a report by the Bush administration.
During the election campaign, President Bush advocated affordable access to
high-speed Internet services for all Americans by 2007.
The Commerce Department report, prepared in September but undisclosed until
after the election, said use of fast-Internet connections grew dramatically
through October 2003 to 20 percent of U.S. households. The report praised
such services for fuelling online banking, entertainment and commerce.
Some experts said growth was behind countries that include Taiwan and
Canada. The report also identified troubling figures for use or availability
of high-speed Internet services among Blacks, Hispanics and people in rural
areas.
Significant numbers of rural Americans said they couldn't subscribe to
high-speed services because none was available. Most Americans who did not
use fast connections said service was either too expensive or they did not
need it.
