Abstract
Internet access is an essential good that provides near perfect information for users to make better informed decisions. With this capability, users who are disadvantage by their education or income have the opportunity to get better informed and make better decisions. This means that the internet should be the most beneficial for individuals with the least education and lowest income level. The findings of the study suggests the opposite. The highest income earners and the most educated from having internet access. This might arise because low income earners are unable to afford a computer or internet subscription fees while the less educated have little exposure to using the internet.
