Ward D writes "A modest increase in U.S. broadband adoption would have an annual economic impact of US$134 billion, according to a study released Thursday. A 7 percent increase in broadband adoption would create 2.4 million jobs across the U.S., would save $662 million in health-care costs and $6.4 billion in vehicle mileage, among other savings, according to the study, released by Connected Nation, a nonprofit group focused on improving broadband adoption across the U.S. http://www.computerworld.com.au/index.php/id;18916991"
