I do not believe this for one minute that over 1/3 of people in Texas do not have internet. 9 years ago when I was a Schwan's man- 90% of the homes I went to had internet- whether they be in the government projects or in BFE miles from town. I have had internet since the mid 90's- and that is even primarly living as much as 15 miles from town- granted I had dial up until about 3 years ago- and where I live now- still over 5 miles from town- our local co-op has all but 3 towns now on DSL and wireless- or about 85% of their customers.
Combine that with the proliferation of iphones and androids- I say this is bunk
