Full PDF File: Consumer Federation of America and Consumers Union report says 64% of unconnected people in U.S.
want Internet over TV (11OCT00) (ConsumerFed)
The report jointly issued by the Consumer Federation of America and the Consumers Union is entitled "Disconnected, Disadvantaged, and Disenfranchised: Explorations in the Digital Divide" While discussing how the "information revolution" is causing people without internet access to have a sense of being left behind, page 32 of the report states: "This suggests that the intention to get connected may be spurred by the urgent desire not to be left behind. Consistent with this interpretation is the fact that they are much more likely to state that they would like to have the Internet over their TV (64 percent). In contrast, only 37 percent of the currently connected and only 34 percent of those not intend[ing] to get connected say they want the Internet over their TV." -
