Pew earlier this year found that Latino households that are English-dominant are more likely to have internet access than Latino households that are Spanish-dominant.
Key findings from the Pew Report on Latinos and BroadbandThe pdf of the report can be found here: http://www.pewinternet.org/pdfs/PIP_Broadband%202007.pdf
- "56% of Latinos go online from any location. This is slightly lower than the rate of internet usage among African-Americans (62%) and rural adults (60%).
- 29% of Hispanic adults have a home broadband connection, compared with 31%
for rural dwellers, 40% for African-Americans and 47% for the adult population
as a whole. As with African-Americans and rural residents, low broadband
penetration among Hispanics is influenced heavily by low internet usage within
this group.- Among Latinos with home internet access, 66% have a broadband connection; this is comparable to the overall percentage for all internet users (70%)."
The San Francisco paper had a short blurb on the report.
