As for broadband penetration, that simply outdated. Right now we sit at 73.1 %   which is up significantly in the last few years. Granted it far from perfect (and is only people who have access to it, not actually owners), but I think it will make an impact, more-so in the a few years. But the trend has started, and we are getting to a point where people are starting to need internet access.

I'm tired, but show me where that number is "broadband".  All I'm seeing is "Internet". 

[edit:  Update: 
April 12, 2006 - THE NUMBER OF U.S. SUBSCRIBERS to broadband high-speed Internet service jumped 32.3 percent to 42.9 million lines for the year ended June 2005, according to the Federal Communications Commission. This was an increase of 10.4 million lines over the 12-month period, with 5 million added during the second half of that period. The United States ranks 12th in the world for broadband subscribers, according to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. Part of the reason for the low ranking of the U.S. is that other countries have subsidized broadband service, and their populations live in areas that are easier to serve.

The FCC found that the majority of broadband connections in the U.S., 61 percent, were via cable modem service offered by companies like Comcast Corp. More than 37 percent of the connections were digital subscriber lines (DSL) offered by telephone companies like AT&T.

DSL service is generally less expensive than cable Internet service, but offers slower download speeds. The vast majority of cable customers receive between 2.5 megabits per second (Mbps) and 10 Mbps in at least one direction, while most DSL customers receive between 200 kilobits per second and 2.5 Mbps, according to the FCC.

42.9 / ~300 = 14.3%
Let's say it grew at the same rate for the last three years. 
99.34 / ~308 = 32.3%
And much of the growth then was DSL.  How well does that work for downloading HD movies?
