[Air-l] Down to the Wire

[Irina Shklovski]

Pew Internet suggests that broadband increases the frequency and range 
of Internet use. Unfortunately, with an increase in range of use, it is 
harder to say that simply using the technology has a particular impact. 
People could fall into "user profiles" so that how they use the 
technology could determine the effect they experience. There is little 
research that deals with this issue that has been published to date, but 
  there is some and, I suppose (hope), a lot more is in the works.

United States has been behind South Korea in deploying broadband for 
several years though. Why is falling behind Japan a bigger deal?
