The research was conducted among 1,364 families in 10 geographic areas in the US as part of the NICHD Study of Early Child Care.

The good news is that it would be very difficult to cause major disruptions across the country, although destruction of some key parts could seriously degrade Internet quality. "When it comes to the Internet, there is strength in numbers," said the co-author of the study.
