# State-by-State Internet Usage

While doing some other research yesterday, I discovered that the [National Telecommunications and Information Administration](http://www.ntia.doc.gov/) (NTIA) recently released new [state-by-state home internet usage figures](http://www.ntia.doc.gov/reports/2008/Table_HouseholdInternet2007.pdf) based on the Census Bureau's October 2007 Current Population Survey. Judging by my inbox there is a huge amount of interest in this topic, and the NTIA report is a great, up-to-date resource for people who want to know how their state stacks up with the rest of the country.
