Nearly a third of U.S. households don’t have a broadband connection

In its new Rural America and Technology study, NPD notes that 31% of U.S. households don’t have broadband (25Mbps downloads and up) internet connections. The number works out to roughly 100 million per the report. That figure, unsurprisingly, is highly concentrated in rural areas — less than one-fifth of that population has a broadband connection. - Brian Heater, TechCrunch [via/web:http://streaming-tv.us]
