Are the folks without credit cards on the internet?

At least here in Uruguay, the answer is yes.
Don't only think of the classic "poor", think of: - people earning 500 dollars/month (lower middle class here) which Visa and Mastercard don't accept as customers;
- young people (under 18 or 20) and women (that's A LOT of people);
- people in informal work agreements (that's 1/3rd of the population here), black and gray market, which cannot demonstrate their income and avoid taxes.
