Agreed. (so long as you have electricity, access to a computer, internet access, and the technical proficiency) :) “Publishing large-size multimedia files doesn’t preclude one from becoming a full participant in the global conversation that goes on in blogosphere.”

Michael, you are right about music and video. But, I think a more important point of the article was that everyone can join the conversation.

But, I doubt you can really double the numbers to try to include those who share access at home or via wi-fi networks. It is much to easy to say it could be "conservatively doubled" without any real data to support such a presumption. As it is, we're still far away from a "global village [in] continuous conversation" Right, Jonny - I failed to realize those stats I found were for DSL only; your 2.5% seems more reasonable if it includes all broadband.

I would be interested to hear your views on the difference between English and US opinion journalism. Frankly, i struggle with the use of the language of the latter. Jeff-

Another <a href="http://compnetworking.about.com/gi/dynamic/offsite.htm?site=http://www.imsresearch.com/members/pr.asp%3FX=180" rel="nofollow">estimate</a> which incudes cable internet subscribers takes the global figure to 2.5%. Plus, many of these connections are shared by other household members, and by neighbors who piggyback on open wifi networks, I'm sure the number could be, conservatively, doubled. And that estimate is a year old, so the number has got to be higher now. So broadband adoption is not ubiquitous, but it's wider than the above estimate Michael cites. Another tidbit for Michael:

It's only when you get into audio and video that broadband is key. There are plenty of blogs w/just text and images that everyone with any kind of net connection can peruse. So, it would be great if everyone had broadband, but it's not necessary for people to take part in absorbing and making a mark in a huge slice of the blogosphere. Michael,
