Each pack comprises latest internet take-up figures from Ofcom’s Q1 2010 Digital Participation Tech Tracker survey, as well as information about what these groups say about why they don’t have the internet, and their attitudes towards internet technology. It also provides background social and economic market data collated from national statistical sources."
