[Rpm] broadband cost analysis

[Dave Taht]

Looking at figure 7 (non-adoption rates by age group), nearly 30% of
those under 30 do not have fixed broadband.
>From an informal survey of those I know in that age range, they are
primarily dependent on their cell phones,
cannot live at a fixed address for long enough to adopt fixed
broadband solutions, and go to coffee shops and
libraries (and the office) to get their connectivity. I am kind of
curious as to the trendline here - a cellphone is a must
for this generation, quality fixed internet merely a nice to have.
