BROADBAND AND HOUSEHOLD INCOME GO HAND-IN-HAND
[SOURCE: Center for Media Research, AUTHOR: Jack Loechner]
New consumer research, Broadband Access and Service in the Home 2007, from Leichtman Research Group, finds that 53% of all US households now subscribe to a broadband high-speed Internet service at home. Broadband services now account for about 72% of all home Internet subscriptions, compared to 60% last year. While broadband subscriptions continued to increase across the country in the past year, broadband penetration remains strongly correlated with household income: 68% of all households with annual incomes over $50,000 now get broadband vs. 59% last year; 39% of all households with annual incomes under $50,000 get broadband vs. 27% last year.
