The time is to move from 35% (early adopters) to 60% (beginning of mass
distribution), not from 0% to 60%.

Yo All!
Well Al Gore invented the internet in the early '80s, and the internet
penetration was not 60% by the early '90s, SO I think these numbers
are bogus.

The Internet broke the 60 percent penetration barrier in the U.S. faster
than any other medium. For example, some 35 percent of the U.S.
population had phone use in 1920, but penetration didn't reach 60
percent until 1950. With the Internet, a comparable increase in
usage only took two years.
