[cma-l] Ofcom update - One in five adults to get online in next six months

[CMA-L]

One in five adults who do not have the internet at home are likely to
sign up in the next six months, new Ofcom research has revealed.

The research comes ahead of the Government’s Digital Britain report to
be published before the summer, which will develop the idea of
universal broadband in the UK.  And it follows the recent
Communications Consumer Panel research that revealed that many people
already regard it as essential to have broadband at home.

The new Ofcom research looks at the reasons why 30 per cent of UK
adults do not have the internet at home and the barriers that prevent
them from taking it up in the future.
