There's a certain amount of wishful spinning in this article

Internet uptake is slowing, but that's OK, because probably the people who don't have the internet, don't want it. This is a "less pernicious" digital divide than one where people are excluded because they can't afford the technology.

Actually if people are disempowered because of their culture and education it's more pernicious. People who don't know they want the technology because they can't understand what it could do for them, are doubly damned. At least the guy who knows the internet would be useful but can't afford a regular connection may pop into a cybercafe occasionally.
