Internet was quicker than teletext, which was a text on screen information system in use on UK TV. Since then people have been used to sharing information. Now the internet is in full demand everywhere and anywhere. Even the new international train stations at St Pancras, Ebbsfleet and Ashford have had to install wifi internet access for those business users working and travelling by train to Europe. Mobile internet has probably been the biggest uphill battle as the mobile and phone companies try to cloud free internet sharing and sell expensive broadband packages to the rich and manic technophobics. I just hope that time adventually catchup and I can download a Mc Donalds Happy Meal, until then I won't be impressed. These trends in my opinion go with the weather, colder it gets less you want to go out, more time you spend online? Just a theory. Europe growth in internet users was very fast and not so unexpected.
