40% of U.S. Homes Still Without Broadband
Thirty-eight percent of homeowners without high-speed access do not want or need it.
Forty percent of Americans still do not have broadband at home, according to the Department of Commerce.
The data is prompting the Commerce and Agriculture departments to push $7.2 billion in federal stimulus funding to communities for broadband expansion.
The money has not yet been distributed because the government is waiting for a broadband distribution plan from the FCC in the coming months.
Research also shows 38 percent of households without broadband say they don't need it or want it.
