Primary Place of WWW Access

---

Notes:

• This was a new question for this survey. Respondents were asked to indicate the primary place from which they access the WWW. Only one answer could be selected. "Distributed" means that they do not have a primary place--their access is distributed.

• More than half of the respondents said their primary place of access was at home (55.4%). This number corresponds well with similar questions, such as Who Pays for Your Access where over half of respondents indicate that they pay for their own access.

• More European users than US users consider work to be their primary place of access (46.3% vs. 32.2%).

Notes:

• Slightly more females have some location other than work or home as their primary place of Web access (11.7%).

Notes:

• More than 73% of those over 50 reported that their primary place of access is at home.

• Respondents in the 26-50 age group are more likely to have their primary access from work than any other age group (39.2%).

• A larger percentage of younger respondents have some other source as their primary access (20.3%) compared to other age groups (approximately 2%).
