There's a small sidebar and pie graph on page 19 of the November '97 issue
of _Byte_ which summarizes the results of some market research done by
CommerceNet/Nielsen Media Research.

46% of those using "alternative points of access" to the Internet used
public libraries for this service. ("alternative" being other than home,
school or office)

Public libraries' share of this market is 2.5 times of size of the next
most frequently cited access point.
