Broadband adoption rates between 2007 and 2008 were highest among households with annual income between $20,000 and $40,000, according to new research by the Pew Internet and American Life Project.
The only income group to experience declining broadband penetration was the less-than-$20,000 income group, which includes college students as well as other lower-income households.
The other notable divergence from growth rates in the 15 percent to 24 percent growth rates were among households with annual income above $100,000, where four percent growth was the norm. It is probably fair to say that wealthier households largely have adopted already.
