Almost everyone has access to a telephone and an Internet provider, however not everyone has access to a computer. Poor, black, old, rural, and unemployed all are characteristics of low rates of Internet usage. Internet usage is highest in the western states and lowest in southern ones.

Rule #1--Big business is profit driven. Areas with highly dense populations and wealth are prime targets as profitability centers for any type of business. Areas with small population numbers and low economic levels are not as attractive to big business including internet access providers. States such as North Dakota (the population of ND is 642,200--New York is 19,306,183), South Dakota, Montana, Utah, Nevada--to name a few; Indian reservations and Appalachia are not as attractive to internet providers as urban areas where profits abound. So to answer your question any demographic areas that are rural, remote and sparsely populated without the economic base to provide a profit attractive to an internet provider.
