It may not look like a setback, but many Americans still using dial-up Internet as a way to access the first content of this great network. The number is around 3.5 million AOL subscribers only, one giant company that saw its dial-up business shrink significantly in the years following the boom of broadband in the land of Barack Obama.
I even thought the service was dial-up days are numbered in the USA. Maybe, but there are still Americans who prefer this type of access. A survey conducted by Pew even two years ago showed that half of the dial-up subscribers at that time had no intention to migrate to broadband, the price is very affordable in the country (and also in Brazil, at least for the class average).
Among those still using the narrow band - was so called dial-up - more than half say the price of broadband has to fall. Believe it or not ...
In the golden age of no less than AOL had 26.5 million subscribers slower connection. That there in 2002, way back when the company merged with Time Warner to become a vast conglomerate of internet services and pay television. Currently there are only 3.5 million, and the trend is that the number continued to fall. The Pew study realized 6.3 million subscribers in 2009, which means that the amount of people who paid for dial-up dropped by half since then.
Currently the AOL business is another. They want to consolidate itself as a content portal. Are eyeing the advertising market. To do so, have bought important websites such as news and blog DownloadSquad Hunffington Post. TechCrunch is also part of AOL's network of sites and remains very well, even after Michael Arrington, founder, left the writing of the site.
I would like to manifest iG to say whether he still has dial-up Internet users. The same goes for UOL.
