It’ll be 5% in ten years, if that long. +/-

Only? ONLY?

I think 40% is pretty darned amazing, considering how many people in the world can’t even sufficiently feed themselves, have access to clean water or read.

I’m sure somewhere in the article it’s white people’s fault that 60% haven’t.

Don't worry, Net Neutrality will assure the public that it is, and that a UN tax will go 1% of the way in assuaging that white guilt...

If you are not making money online you are doing it wrong.

He did; they sold them all on Craigslist to Nigerian scammers. They’re all in Lagos now...

Those commercials were bizarre; they basically told you that you would pay for two computers - one for you and one for an African. Not very good marketing...

And most of them would have no clue what to do when they get there.

If I didn’t have running water, a flush toilet, and I was using cattle dung for cooking fuel, internet use would not be high on my list of needs or even wants.

I’m sure it was a pure coincidence that Nasty Pelousey started talking about the expansion of the internet in Cauba and Haiti immediately after the passage of net neutrality.

He had a typo in the link- it’s http://419eater.com

The site is a discussion board for people who make a hobby of shutting down internet scams, often in hilarious ways. The guys there shut down a “mystery shopper” job scam that I unearthed.

My first reaction, too. With Dems killing the internet via 1930s utility regulations, the number has nowhere to go but down.

Yeah, well I’ve been on line since the mid-90s. So what? I have four cars too and a really nice house, and my wife and I have raised two well-adjusted successful kids. And we really don’t make a lot of money. But we spend what we have on meaningful things — not trinkets and tattoos. So what? If some guy who lives in a hut and pees in his drinking water supply wants to get online, he can do it!
