UK Internet access hits the wall - BBC
How can government persuade users to go online? Half the UK population remains offline, according to the latest research from telecoms watchdog Oftel. The regulator has found that net take-up is levelling off, despite a huge increase in the uptake of broadband. Much of the interest in high-speed net services seems to be coming from people who already have a dial-up connection. In the past year overall figures for both dial-up and broadband net access at home have remained at around 42% of the population in the UK, according to Oftel.
