I'm researching broadband acceptance rates in the U.S. right now and I just saw this thread. I came across the stats ref'd in the first post already. Looking around some more I found another source that pegged the number at 60%. Still another gave a 2005 prediction that put us at about 65% in 2007 but that didn't take into account the slowdown in broadband adoption that has occurred since.
While Mike's point about aiming for your target audience is well-taken, its also important to take what Rey is saying to heart. How many of us have experienced what life is like on your U.S.-typical 49k dialup lately? Tried it for a week? I was on it for two recently. Do that and it will give you a whole new appreciation of web site bloat. Broadband is far from ubiquitous. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Janitor, The Robertson Team mysecretbase.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Create Web Applications With ColdFusion MX7 & Flex 2.
