That's right, the latest report from the Pew Research Center's Internet & American Life Project found that the rate of broadband adoption has slowed "dramatically" in the U.S. population ,but the rate among some sub-segments, especially African-Americans, continues to be high.

The full report, "Home Broadband 2010," can be found online at http://pewrsr.ch/brdbnd10, and also finds that a slight majority (53% vs. 41%) of Americans do not believe that the spread of affordable broadband should be a major government priority. Contrary to what some might suspect, non-Internet users are less likely than current users to say the government should place a high priority on the spread of high-speed connections.
