In numbers, the amount of people who have dialup is prety large.
In absolute numbers yes, but in relative, I wonder if not most people have or are moving to ADSL? Many countries have 95% or better coverage, and the cost is now _almost_ negligible. (the cheapest here is CHF9/month plus CHF2.40/hour).
That "many" countries means the first world only, and then only cities in my part of the first world. They are thinking some kind of radio link instead. My adsl is about 35 Eur/month (still waiting to know the real figure). Dialup can depend, but it can be either ~1.6 cents/per minute, or a night flat rate about 20..30 Eur/month, plus the phone line. That's certainly not negligible here with our salaries. Cable is not viable, they say, although it lies 30 meters from my door. - -- Cheers. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFEaGzztTMYHG2NR9URAn77AJ42aWfjdBgqUSpFwUJxeA6wqmyQIQCeM46F F1h1nn2zTrha6wbt5msrIMU= =MxOI -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
