Hi everyone,

The Pew Internet Project just released their latest
report on the state of at-home broadband access in the
US:

http://www.pewinternet.org/PPF/r/217/report_display.asp

Among the findings:

    * African Americans: 40% of now have broadband at
home, up by 8 percentage points from 2006.

    * Rural Americans: 31% of those living in rural
areas have broadband at home, up 6 percentage points
from 2006.

    * Low income households, that is, adults who
report living in households with annual household
incomes under $30,000 annually: 30% of those in this
group report having broadband at home, up by 9
percentage points the prior year and matching the
end-of-2005 national average.


I've done a summary of the report on my pbs blog here:
