[Commentary] Despite yesterday's headlines, Meinrath wants people to realize that new Pew data shows that the gap between rural and urban broadband penetration is growing, not narrowing. In 2003: 9% of rural Americans had "broadband" Internet access at home compared with 22% of urban & suburban dwellers. The gap was then 13%. In 2005: 24% of rural Americans had "broadband" Internet access at home compared with 39% of urban & suburban dwellers. The gap was then 15%. Some claim that the rate of increase in broadband penetration was greater in rural areas than in urban areas! Wow, talk about spin... That's like saying that you age faster when you're younger.
