It goes back to knowing who your audience is. If your website sells a product that will only be used by those who are technologically advanced, you may be able to assume they have a certain level of equipment. But anyone who thinks no one uses a 28.8 modem (and if they do, it's because they're lazy slobs who should just upgrade, dammit, or maybe even shoot themsevles instead) and all internet access is free is hopelessly out of touch.

To me, (global) statements like Andrew's indicate an arrogant,
technologically rich who've lost touch with the audience they're paid to
support. It's like a manufacturer of mechanical products who wants to
provide manuals only in PDF format because "everyone has a computer."

FWIW, In many parts of the Global Village, communications are expensive. For
example, in UK, telephony providers only recently offered unmetered Internet
access, and anything better than a single PSTN line carves a large chunk out
of a small company budget.
