• 1. Access to the Information Highway: The Sequel Archived

  Articles and reports: 63F0002X1997013

  Description:

  This paper is a sequel to the Access to the information highway paper (63F0002 no.9) published last year. It updates to 1996 the penetration rates of telephones, cable, computers and modems, and also provides 1996 data on cellular phones and Internet use. The penetration rates of these commodities are analyzed in relation to several socioeconomic and demographic variables.

  Virtually all households have a telephone, while almost three in four have cable, one in seven has their own cellular phone, and nearly one in three has a computer. Although half of the computer households have a modem, less than half of these particular households use their modem to access the Internet.

  Household income strongly affects penetration rates for cellular phones, computers and Internet use. However, among those with a computer, education level is a stronger predictor of Internet use than income. In contrast, for cellular phone penetration rates, income is a stronger predictor than education.
