Many Americans Still Don't Have Home Net Access

Weather Storm wrote in with a story about those who see no need for home net access. Surprisingly, it's not the cost that is a barrier to entry. Instead, most say they don't see the value of having a net connection at home. "A little under one-third of U.S. households have no Internet access and do not plan to get it, with most of the holdouts seeing little use for it in their lives, according to a new survey. Park Associates, a Dallas-based technology market research firm, said 29 percent of U.S. households, or 31 million homes, do not have Internet access and do not intend to subscribe to an Internet service over the next 12 months."

I forgot to mention one more group: bible thumpers. I've run into quite a few (mostly older) Christians who seem to think it's respectable NOT to be on the internet. Because, you know, that's where all the Bad Stuff is.
