What if there are people that don't want it?

Seems that despite the notion of the Obama administration proposing a broadband expansion program there might be a big hurdle to overcome other than the price tag.

Pew's Internet & American Life Project report states that there are a large number of people that don't want broadband, even if it's cheaper. Other nuts and bolts of the report illustrate that older and poorer people either don't want the added benefits or don't use the Internet to begin with.

Read all about it at ARS Technica and the Pew report.

How does this hurdle impact the ability to move towards an improved public sphere?
