I'm looking for a good online source that will provide the following information:

-The current number of broadband users both in the U.S. and worldwide
-Projections for the growth of broadband (i.e. projected users) over
the next couple of years (say, up until 2006)
-Demographics of broadband users, especially age segmentation

I would have to imagine that Neilsen/Jupiter Research/etc would have
some type of a study on this but I haven't been able to dig anything
up.

<A report, The Broadband Difference by John B. Horrigan, senior
research specialist, gives details of the number of US broadband
users, demographics including age breakdown, sex, education, community
type and income level. By March 2003 there were 30 million broadband
users in the U.S.

According to a report by Jupiter Media Metrix, 41 percent of online
households in the U.S. will subscribe to a broadband Internet
connection service by 2006 (35.1 million)..

According to a report by Forward Concepts there will be over 192
million broadband subscribers worldwide by 2006. In 2002 there were
over 57 million broadband subscriber.
