Half of UK homes are online

Oftel press release

[georgeek]

An Oftel press release [oftel.gov.uk] claims half of UK homes are online and "Oftel’s research shows that a further one million consumers could upgrade to broadband over the next 12 months"

Thats seems very high to me. I may be wrong though.

internetworldstats suggests 58% UK penetration

[internetworldstats.com ] have worldwide stats I'd not seen before.

I don't think "UK penetration" is the same statistic as "UK homes online" because most homes have more than one person.

[davidpbrown]

yes.. my post wasn't intending to suggest that.

Oftel "12.5 million UK households are now on-line" @ Oct 03
cf
IWU "34,387,246 of potential 59,040,300 Internet Users @ Sept 03"

does anyone have any stats of number of households who shop online in the UK? and perhaps projections for this for 2004
