On July 28, 1998, NTIA issued this report analyzing telephone and computer penetration rates. The report updates NTIA's findings from its earlier study, "Falling Through the Net: A Survey of the 'Haves' and 'Have Nots' in Rural and Urban America" (July 1995). The new report finds that, while computer penetration has increased nation-wide, there is still a significant "digital divide" based on race, income, and other demographic characteristics.
