According to new consumer research from Leichtman Research Group (LRG), 69% of all US households now subscribe to an online service at home, and high-speed Internet services now account for about 60% of all online subscribers.

Overall, cable remains the most common source for residential broadband driven by its strength among higher income households. But DSL now has a greater market share than cable among middle income households. Based on a telephone survey of 1,600 randomly selected U.S. households:

• Thirty-seven percent of all households with annual household incomes over $75,000 subscribe to cable broadband and 27% subscribe to DSL
• Among all households earning $30,000-$75,000 per year, 21% subscribe to DSL and 18% to cable

Other key findings include:

• The mean annual household income of cable broadband subscribers is 12% higher than their DSL counterparts
• The mean income of broadband subscribers is 35% greater than narrowband/dial-up subscribers
• 40% of current narrowband/dial-up subscribers are interested in getting broadband
• 80% of all US households have at least one computer, but just 58% of those with annual household incomes under $30,000 have a computer at home

LRG forecasts that by the end of the year 2010, there will be over 105 million residential online subscribers in the US, with over 80% subscribing to broadband.

On July 7, 2006 The Free Speech Coalition (FSC) released a draft Code of Ethics & Best Practices for the Adult Entertainment Industry, to be considered by its membership over the next several months with final approval slated for late 2006.

Compiled with the support and approval of industry leaders, the FSC Code of Ethics reflect the following guiding principles:

• FSC members run responsible companies that comply with the law.
• FSC members conduct business with integrity and professionalism.
• FSC members take appropriate steps to help parents control access by minors to adult entertainment without limiting access to such content by consenting adults.

Included in the draft Best Practices are a number of steps Adult entertainment companies already take to help parents utilize these tools, including:

• Registering their websites with the above companies;
• Labeling their websites with text that triggers the above tools;
• Self-labeling through ICRA (Internet Content Rating Association) and other self-labeling methods;
• Placing links to the above tools on their front pages so that adult consumers who are parents can access the tools quickly and easily; and,
• Using age verification methodologies that prevent unsupervised minors from ordering adult entertainment products.
