Research: Broadband Use in Arkansas

In December 2007, a set of questions concerning computer and internet usage were included in a more general study of public perceptions. This general population survey employed random digit dialing. The results of this survey were obtained to provide a preliminary look at internet usage in Arkansas and closely mirror nationwide surveys indicating that thirty-two percent of adults in the United States do not use the internet.

In Arkansas, 51% of households are not subscribed to the internet. Similar to the rest of the nation, 29% of the population has never used the internet [Broadband Survey Results].

Future surveys will provide a more comprehensive look at underlying barriers for connectivity.
