More Broadband Minutes Than Dialup
from the crossing-over dept
As more and more people (finally) get broadband access, they're also spending a bit more time online. Thus, the total number of minutes spent on the internet from broadband users has finally passed those spent online by dialup users. Of course, there are still plenty of people who are being forced to use dialup, but that's what happens when broadband providers have no idea how to offer service. Anyway, a more interesting set of numbers would be how much more time - per person - broadband users spend online as contrasted with dialup users.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
