IP: internet use leveling off from Edupage

[David Farber <farber@cis.upenn.edu>]

The number of new Internet users appears to be stabilizing, with growth
rates hovering at less than 5%, according to a demographics study released
last week by the Georgia Institute of Technology.  According to Tech's
survey, the number of users is now around 30 million -- that's a good bit
lower than Nielsen's recent estimate of 50 million.  "What brought people
online were all the different service providers really gearing up," says a
Tech researcher.  "We don't know whether it will pick up again.  There
hasn't been that much change of the last three surveys."  (Tampa Tribune 16
