According to a recently released study, web surfers in the U.K. spend more time online than the rest of Europe and the United States. At 34.4 hours on the Web each month, the U.K. beats the runner up, Sweden, who only had 31.7 hours. The U.S. trailed shortly behind Sweden with 31.4 hours online each month.
One reason for the high internet usage in the U.K. was given by Bob Ivins, managing director of comScore Europe, who suggested it was attributed to an increase in broadband usage and of course the poor weather.
A warning, however, before taking the figures literally. The study does not include anyone under the age of 15. Also, the data was based on 16 of Europe's biggest markets.
Those numbers were extrapolated to the rest of the continent. Also, it does not include internet usage from mobile phones or internet cafes. |
