Survey: Iceland leads Europe in net use
Iceland has the highest percentage of population aged 14 and above in Europe that uses the Internet on a regular basis, finds recent research.
The survey, by market research firm GfK, found that 88% of the population of Iceland uses the Internet regularly.
The Scandinavian countries of Finland, Norway, Denmark and Sweden came next, followed by Austria and Britain.
Could it be that climate drives Internet use? The Scandinavian and Icelandic climates are colder than those of the countries where Internet use is lowest – Malta, Spain and Portugal – and daylight is in shorter supply.
