Abstract

Online life is thriving in the UK. eMarketer estimates that 1.3 million UK residents have come online since 2007, and a similar number will access the Web for the first time between 2008 and 2009.

The UK Internet Users and Usage report analyzes the continued growth of online population in a country that is already, in many areas, a pace setter for the rest of the world.

eMarketer estimates that the number of Internet users in the UK reached 36.8 million in 2007, and will pass 38 million in 2008—equivalent to 62.6% of the entire population.

Among leading researchers, eMarketer is the only one that takes all ages and all access locations into account—and includes mobile Internet access. Though the mobile Web market has been slow to take off, the number of mobile UK Web users is increasingly significant and will play a stronger role in future years.
