Broadband Bonanza - Yahoo! News: "Eight years later, I'm hooked on cable. But friends who live less than 30 minutes away aren't so fortunate. They still live in a digital Jurassic age, victims of geography and circumstance.
To hear the telephone and cable industries tell it, my friends are in the minority. According to their estimates, 90 percent of U.S. households now have access to cable, DSL, or both. They may be right, considering much of the nation lives in or near large cities. Still, much of the nation does not. And even if everyone did have access to at least one form of broadband, a choice among several is even better."
