[Air-L] North Am. Internet research has been predominantly urban

[Barry Wellman]

For a paper on rural Internet use, Jess Collins and I assert that North
American (US/Canada) internet research has predominantly looked at urban
pops. I think it's self-evidently true, and certainly the US/Cdn
national surveys are sub/urban focused (because thats where the bodies
are),
BUT does anyone have a citation to research that substantiates this urban
focus.
One of my toughest critics (my wife) has asked for this.
