	June 12, 2006 Understanding The Broadband Have-Nots Lower Costs And Clearly Defined Benefits Will Encourage Broadband Upgrades by Maribel D. Lopez with Sally M. Cohen

This is an excerpt

Executive Summary

Today's online population is comprised of a near-even split between consumers who have a broadband connection at home and those who don't. One major hurdle stands between these broadband have-nots and a high-speed connection: price. Consumers who use dial-up look different than those with broadband and lag behind in their adoption of technology and online activities. To get broadband have-nots to make the switch to high-speed, providers must focus on lower-cost service tiers and convey a clear value proposition to prospective customers.
