The internet did not take off slow and it wasn't a hard sell. Maybe to home users in rural Canada, a negligible fraction of customers. Internet usage exploded so fast that just a few years after it became available to most people in developed countries we had the dot-com bubble and bust (2000). Everyone and their mother got online in a few short years. Before the public got access the proto-internet had already grown and expanded globally.

I can't predict the future. If I had any insight I would invest today and not tell anyone about it here.
