John Horrigan Users Quotations

When you focus on the behavioral aspects of Internet users on dial-up, they're not doing as much as Internet users who have adopted.

Existing broadband users were the early adopters who used to pay for the dial-up wait and they got impatient with it, which is why they switched over to broadband, ... We see a slowing down in broadband growth partly because most of the low-hanging fruit of early adopters have been harvested by broadband providers.

The migration to broadband is happening more slowly for dial-up users in 2005 than 2002. With fewer new internet users coming online these days, the stock of potential broadband subscribers is not being replenished.

The broadband difference is now permeating the news environment. High-powered Internet users are heavily into other media sources as well, but the pre-eminent place of online news suggests that it shapes their off-line information choices in an important way.

They're not as ardently engaged as users a couple of years back. They're satisfied with rudimentary applications on the Internet. They like e-mail. They will check the news. They're satisfied with the basics.
