How many rural areas still use dialup but don't have access to cellular yet?

Still the third most visited Web property in the United States According to Alexa it's the 5th [1] but I'm sure it's not a huge difference between third and fifth. Yahoo still makes almost $5BN a year. It's a 24 year old internet behemoth. I mean by any reasonable measure of a company, those are ungodly numbers. Given how people talk about Yahoo though you'd think it was populated with lepers. I guess it's all about…

This article could be a tweet: The new name is meant to be a combination of the words “alternative and Alibaba,” according to a person familiar with the company’s thinking, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the individual was not authorized to speak on the record about the name change.
IMO, this naming convention is Alt-Stupid.
