-----Original Message-----

The Pew Internet & American Life Project has released their Broadband
Adoption 2007 report.

The report finds that nearly half (47%) of all adult Americans now have
a high-speed internet connection at home, according to a February 2007
survey conducted by the Pew Internet & American Life Project. The
percentage of Americans with broadband at home has grown from 42% in
early 2006 and 30% in early 2005. Among individuals who use the internet
at home, 70% have a high-speed connection while 23% use dialup.

The 12% growth rate from 2006 to 2007 represents trails the 40% increase
in the 2005 to 2006 timeframe, when many people in the middle-income and
older age groups acquired home broadband connections. Those groups
continued to show increases in home broadband adoption into early 2007,
but at lower rates than in the past.
