The proliferation of new smartphone owners, including Americans without home broadband access, has not been enough to close the most significant gaps in the digital divide, according to a new Pew Research Center study.

“The Smartphone Difference,” released this week, shows that smartphone owners relying on the technology as their only link to the Internet are more likely to use it for a job hunt or to access other vital services. They’re also more likely to have their smartphone service cut off due to financial hardship.

And that momentary inconvenience could be “the difference between hearing back from a job and being able to apply for a job,” said study coauthor Aaron Smith. “This could affect their financial situation in a meaningful way.”

Home Broadband 2015

Three notable changes relating to digital access and digital divides are occurring in the realm of personal connectivity, according to new findings from Pew Research Center surveys. 

  • 1) Home broadband adoption seems to have plateaued. 
  • 2) There has been an increase in “smartphone-only” adults – those who own a smartphone that they can use to access the internet, but do not have traditional broadband service at home. 
  • 3) 15% of American adults report they have become “cord cutters” – meaning they have abandoned paid cable or satellite television service.
