Hello all, I have not mapped it, but I started to look at the material from a couple of perspectives that are interesting. The first is which states have the highest penetration of Internet/PC. Looking at it in terms of PCs, it seems that a couple of western states are pretty high on the list. Utah, Washington, Alaska and Colorado (along with New Hampshire) lead the way here. At the other end are some southern states, Mississippi, Arkansas, Lousiana, Oklahoma and Alabama. If you look in terms of Internet adoption the ranking is just about the same with a few substitutions.
However, if you look at the percent of PCs that do not have an internet connection the picture changes a bit. The top of the list is still the sparsely populated states mostly in the west/great plains. Idaho, Utah (high PC adoption but low Internet adoption) Nebraska, Maine, Kansas. South Carolina, New Mexico. At the other end of the scale there are the states with the lowest difference between PC and Internet adoption. Alaska (high PC and high Internet) Oklahoma (low PC but most of them have Internet) New Jersey, Florida, Pennsylvania Orgegon. This latter group is really a mized bag. Populated eastern states, low penetration southern states, the great north (Alaska) etc. It is a little hard to make sense of it. It might be that some sort of public policy or the marketing of the Internet plays in to the equation here.
