Lies, Damned Lies and Internet Statistics | Sun 11 Nov

(BBC) The internet is not like a consumer technology or a toy. Its use will not level off at 50% or 60% because people dont want to buy PCs. Instead it is like gas or water or electricity - a basic service that all homes and businesses need.

Sat 16 Feb 11:52 | Michael Roth | Dear Sir/Madam, I was wondering if you could help me find a couple of statistics about the internet in the U.S.A., or where I can find such stats as I have searched high and low but have as yet had no success. 1. The total number of internet users in the U.S.A. for each year from 1999 to 2001. 2. A breakdown of the number of internet users on a state by state basis. 3. The take-up of internet users, ie the number of new users in the U.S. for each year of 1999-2001. 4. A breakdown of the number of new internet users on a state by state basis in the U.S. for each year of 1999-2001. I thank you very much if you can help me with these rare facts, Best Regards, Michael R. Roth
