Yes, Stephen, the numbers are improving at a face pace. Ironically, I have a training tomorrow for a winery client that is still on dial-up in the California's heartland. Satellite is their only option for high-speed. (unsure of icon for empathy)
We've got quite an infrastructure challenge to get to a certain percentage of the remaining population. It will be interesting to see how the alternative high speed services like Broadband over Powerline (BPL) and WiMax pan out.
Perhaps a simpler analogy. We've finally been able to ditch targeting 800x600 resolution users in designing websites and moved to 1024x768. I know something similar will eventually happen with bandwidth.
