Broadband demand diminishes
Dial-up Internet connections are now in the minority according to a new report by the Pew Internet and American Life Project. At the same time, demand for broadband is flattening out. Cable, DSL and other broadband hook-ups reached 53% of all online connections in May of this year. But that's a measly growth increase from the year before. Pew Research Director John Horrigan says the good news is broadband companies will now have to work harder for new customers, meaning more price breaks and other incentives.
