The Digital Divide has been bridged by libraries and schools , according to Arbitron and Edison Media Research. The report includes a lot of information on streaming media users as well.

When you look at Internet use at home and work, The divide is small, but significant. 48% of Hispanics and 6% of African Americans have Internet access at home or work compared with 70% among whites.

When you include school and library access, 75% of the total population has access to the Internet compared with 74% of African Americans and 65% of Hispanic Americans.

These numbers are interesting in light of eMarketer's recent assertion that US Internet penetration will peak at 80%. Their conclusion seems about right, but their line of reasoning doesn't prove it. Posted by bp at February 25, 2003 03:19 PM
