The most popular device for Internet access in the UK - a smartphone
Telecom controller Ofcom conducted a survey among the British, which showed that the smartphone is the most popular Internet access device in the UK. In second place are laptops, with a share of 30%, according to Vedomosti. In a similar survey last year, laptops were in the first place, and smartphones were in the second place.
The survey concluded that the British had become a “smartphone society”. Every second resident of the country aged from 55 to 64 has a smartphone.
The release of smartphones to the first place in the list of the most popular devices for accessing the Internet creates certain problems for businesses. The problem is that users need simple, logical interfaces and more friendly websites. At the same time, new opportunities are opening up for companies. For example, now we can talk about replacing call centers with costly online reference services.

Many users still use laptops and desktops for more complex operations, ”says Paul Lee, an analyst at
The UK government is now trying to interact with mobile operators to provide coverage of areas with insufficient development of telecommunications infrastructure. Until 2017, telecom operators and the government will invest about £ 5 billion in the development of such infrastructure.
