Americans buy boards but don't surf

Research from Nielsen/Netratings suggests that while millions of Americans have web access, only two-thirds actually use it regularly.

NEWS According to the report, 153,844,012 people in the US had internet access at home in November, but only 62 per cent of them made use of it during that month. Many even have subscriptions where they pay their ISP a fixed figure for internet access, but despite the cost they seem reluctant to cancel their accounts.
