Broadband Up - Video Driving Growth
by Michael HoffmanThursday, June 22nd, 2006
Neilson/NetRatings reported yesterday that three quarters of active web users connect to the Internet with broadband at home, up 15% from last year. Price has pushed more people to switch from dial-up, with broadband now as low as $12.99/month. The rate in the work place is 90%! Here’s a blurb from CNET.
Jon Gibs, senior director of media at Neilson/NetRatings, says in the press release: “The remaining customers will be pushed to broadband as the Internet continues to move beyond text-based information to a comprehensive source of video.”
