Accessing the internet at home and work 'has become easier' Number of people using the internet in the UK is rising, says UKOM.
Corporate video productions and other forms of online marketing are likely to benefit from the increasing ease of access to the internet.
According to James Smythe, general manager at the UK Online Measurement Company (UKOM), improved levels of connectivity to the internet is now common both at home and places of work.
"Getting connected to internet at home has become easier, and it has become a part of more people's working lives too," he said.
His comments follow a recent study by UKOM which found that the size of the UK internet audience grew by five per cent from 36.9 million people in May 2009 to 38.8 million people in May 2010.
Of the 1.9 million new Britons using the internet, one million (53 per cent) are at least 50-years-old, the UKOM figures revealed.
"All age groups in the population are able to get online more easily now with less need to be technically competent, and they are clearly finding the content to keep them there," added Mr Smythe.
