That's good news, the UK seems to have taken to internet advertising like a duck to water.

I read the article you posted and went to Google to do a little more research. I typed in "internet advertising spend" into search the web (from the UK) and the number one result was a very detailed CNN report (http://money.cnn.com/news/newsfeeds/articles/djf500/200807171817DOWJONESDJONLINE000927_FORTUNE5.htm)

That article was interesting but what caught my attention was the way the result was shown in Google SERPS. It was a normal five line result but indented to the right because of a picture of the Google logo with "telegraph.co.uk just below it. Clicking on that led me to an article in the Telegraph. I've never seen that type of double SERP block. Maybe I've been asleep too long!
