Keith - I believe the statistics won't change much if you replace television households with total households. I don't know where to locate total household stats on the net, but I'm sure that they are there somewhere (everything is online!). Just a wild-as_ed guess, so take it for what it's worth: The population of the US is ~275? million, say that the average household is ~2.5? people. Then there are ~110 million total households, so TV penetration is 87%. The stats won't change all that much. Also, as you point out, how many people who don't have TVs are going to sign up for high-speed internet access? 0.0005%? The point of my earlier post was just to try to get David to back up his "statistics" with a reference to his source. Rob
