If you have a mobile or smart phone, there's a 55% chance you use it at least once a week to check on a movie time, find a restaurant, assess traffic, see if your team is winning or any of the many other things people go online to accomplish. If you live in the Middle East or Africa, that figure spikes to 70%. As would be expected in terms of the way new technology is adopted, the under 35s are far more inclined at 69% to use their mobile or smart phones to go online at least once a week than their 50- to 64-year-old counterparts, of whom only 33% claim to get online via their phones at least once a week.


More data and full technical details are available in the Detailed Tables document on the right.
