Yogesh,

it is not clear whether you will study domestic, or private, or business, or public, or educational, or research, or associative, or collective users and their behaviour. There is quite a lot of research on domestic use (which is often confounded with private use) and professional/business use (which is often confounded with use at the office).

A good start is bibliography established by Leslie Haddon: where the domestication theory coined by Silverstone & Haddon receives an important place, of course:

A running European research program, eLiving,  includes an empirical analysis of Broadband uses:

Anderson, B., Gale, C., Jones, M., and McWilliam, A. (2002) Domesticating Broadband: what 'consumers' really do with flat rate, always on and fast Internet access. BT Technology Journal, Vol 20, Number 1. pp103-114. January 2002.

Also go to: http://www.eurescom.de/e-living/ to see the deliverables

What about diffusion research?

You should be more specific to get more precise answers.

Good luck,
