February 19 – Almost a third of people in the United States “do not use the Internet anywhere,” according to the U.S. Department of Commerce, National Telecommunications & Information Administration.

“Despite the growing importance of the Internet in American life, over 30 percent of households and 35 percent of persons do not use the Internet at home, and 30 percent of all persons do not use the Internet anywhere. Those with no broadband access at home amount to more than 35 percent of all households and approximately 40 percent of all persons, with a larger proportion in rural areas in both categories.”

A link to a copy of the report can be found on the PNRC website with other information about Internet Demographics under the Subscriber Resources tab. For your convenience, a link to the study is also provided below:
