GP is likely talking about the "Constitution Free Zone", or the area within 100 miles of a border [1].

I was going on the assumption that most people in population centers use or have used the internet; and that the number of people that were not in population centers was less than 20%; and I mental-gymnastics'd myself to thinking that those population centers tend to be on the shore, so I said it that way.
Not necessarily right, but that's how I go there.

"most people in population centers use or have used the internet" 80% is "most" by lots of definitions.

You're right; but I figured 95-99% in population centers and much more than 50% everywhere else, which ends up being more like at least 86% of the people in the United States used the internet in the last year.
What that has to do with anything, god only knows, unless you meant something like '100 miles away from the border', and even then I'm at a loss.
Go visit a flyover state sometime. Most of the country's very different than SV/the northeast corridor/other modern urbanized area, and I wouldn't live there if you paid me.
