Half of all Dutch households has a mobile phone access to the internet. That is according to figures from the CBS. In 2010 a third party. The desktop remains the most commonly used method for internet access.
In 2010 was ‘only’ 35 percent of the households have a mobile phone to access the internet, but in 2011, that proportion had grown to exactly 50 percent. Thus, the market share of mobile internet has grown rapidly; in 2005 it was still only 12 per cent and in 2008 just 22 percent. This is evident from a report of the Central Bureau for Statistics. The CBS defines a household one or more persons who live together at an address live.
Meanwhile, the use of desktops to access the internet for years-from 93 per cent in 2005 to 76 percent in 2011. In 2010, it was 78 percent. The use of laptops which people turn to the internet, although increasing: from 68 to 74 percent. 15 percent of the households with a set-top box to the internet, 19 percent with a game console.
It is remarkable that according to the figures of 6 per cent a ‘palmtopcomputer’ used for internet access. According to statistician, Chantal Melser of the CBS is actually to palmtops, and it is therefore not the case that devices such as tablets under the same denominator are gathered. “For the surveys in 2012, we have just completed, you can see that the share of the handheld computer is already decreasing, while the share of mobile phones continues to rise.” Tablets are in the surveys are not separately measured.
From the figures of statistics netherlands shows that the Netherlands in Europe is the frontrunner as the access to the internet. 94 percent of Dutch households have access to the internet. According to the CBS, the Netherlands for many years already, on the first place in Europe, where an average of more than seven in ten households have access to the internet.
Of the Dutch households had 83 percent access via a broadband connection; in Sweden and Denmark is that level higher. Of all European households have 67 percent high-speed internet access. 86 percent of internet users in the Netherlands is every day or almost every day online.
