Sex in the City and High Speed Internet Access Options

[Ross Russell]

You would think with all the press and media attention to the finale of Sex in the City that everyone in America watched the show.

The fact is that HBO doesn't reach that many people.

In fact, I saw an article in a newspaper that said that there are more people with internet access than there are with HBO/cable tv.

What this means is that I can reach more people with Tempcity The Movie ™ and this website than HBO could with Sex in the City.

And internet access is world wide, not just American (and dare I say that there are more people worldwide interested in temping than there are interested in the highly fictional scenario of single White Females in New York City having sex?).

As I recall, on the day that the media was making so much fuss about the Sex in the City finale, a stupid reality show on fox pulled in 10 times a many viewers and was barely mentioned by the media.

NEW YORK -- Nielsen//NetRatings, the global standard for Internet audience measurement and analysis, reports that nearly 75 percent or 204.3 million Americans have access to the Internet from home. In comparison, Internet access penetration hovered around 66 percent in February 2003, rising nine percentage points year-over-year.



In Re Broadband - according to Pew Internet and American Life Project

55% of all adult Internet users – or 34% of all adult Americans – have access to high-speed Internet connections either at home or on the job.

39% of adult Internet users – or 24% of all adult Americans – have high-speed access at home, an increase of 60% since March 2003.

A surge in subscription to DSL high-speed Internet connections, which has more than doubled since March 2003, is largely behind the growth in broadband at home.

DSL now has a 42% share of the home broadband market, up from 28% in March 2003.

For the first time, more than half (52%) of a key demographic group – college educated people age 35 and younger – has broadband connections at home.

Only 10% of rural Americans go online from home with high-speed connections, about one-third the rate for non-rural Americans.
