Developers and property managers are making access to broadband services a reality for a diverse group of residents in cutting-edge communities throughout the United States.
The recent downturn in the dot.com and technology industries has led many to conclude that the Internet era is over. Such a conclusion would be erroneous, however, because the needs and demands for Internet-related information continue to grow at an extremely rapid pace. According to conservative estimates, Internet use is increasing by about 100 percent a year. Moreover, some of the strongest growth has been among those portions of the population that tend to live in multifamily housing. A recent U.S. Department of Commerce report (Falling through the Net: Toward Digital Inclusion, October 2000), for example, documented a 58 percent growth in Internet use among the elderly as well as continuing gains in usage among various ethnic groups.
