US broadband penetration +16% since January, says Nielsen/NetRatings
In a press release issued this morning , Nielsen/Netratings says that 17 million more American households have broadband access today than just this past January, raising the estimated penetration figure to 120.8 million, or 42% of US census estimated households.
"Although broadband penetration among Internet users has long been on the rise, it was always amid speculation that the high cost of broadband would limit its widespread adoption," said Charles Buchwalter, vice president of client analytics, Nielsen//NetRatings. "However, over the last year, carriers have responded to the growing demand for lower cost broadband, and all indications are that this trend will continue."
