what is the current penetration of broadband? i seem to remember from the newsletter that a strong majority of people say they have it... which seems not to jibe with my reality, but most of my friends are poets, so we're poor. heck, three of them are living in a tent in my backyard right now. (not really, just kidding.) still, it seems to me that many people might have broadband at _work_, so they say "yes", when really, i would be more curious about the percentage who have it have _home_... does anyone have the figures? -bowerbird

According to a study [1] published by the Pew Internet & American Life Project, "[f]ully 48 million adult Americans have broadband connections at home", which they peg at 39% of adult Internet users. These numbers are for March 1, 2004. [1] www.pewinternet.org/pdfs/PIP_Broadband04.DataMemo.pdf
