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.

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.

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.
