Disparities in Internet access persist for poorer, non-white Americans, but gaps closing
Americans with historically lower rates of Internet access are making progress in getting online, but there are still persistent disparities between rich and poor, and between English-speaking Asians and other ethnicities, according to data from the Pew Research Center released today.Roughly three-quarters of American households making less than $30,000 a year are online, compared to fully 97% of those making $75,000 and up. A similar 97% figure was found for English-speaking Asian households, compared to 81% for Hispanic households and 78% for those of non-Hispanic black people. (The number for white households was 85%.)+ALSO ON NETWORK WORLD: Cisco warns of default SSH keys shipped in three products + Wi-Fi router's 'pregnant women' setting sparks vendor rivalry in China +To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here
