"Most of U.S. Is Wired, but Millions Aren’t Plugged In" You can find the whole story here..
How about Tanzanians living in the US are they plugged in? Not really!!! According to our survey done over the period of four and a half years to Tanzanians living in the US shows that very few are plugged in.
Actually this survey was done over the period of 4.5 yrs but the results from all these years are not that different.
Please keep in mind that this is not a scientific research but the data were gathered from very credible selected 368 sampling all over the US.
