"Internet usage in Europe is growing quickly. By the year 2007, there will be more than 200 million European users. That's a 68% increase over the 2001 numbers. Other compelling statistics include:
Europe had the world's 2nd largest Internet user population in 2001, just behind North America.
63% of Europe's Internet users live in Germany, the UK, Italy, and France.
Germany is likely to account for 1 in 5 Internet users in Europe by 2004.
42% of all UK households have Internet access. "
According to a search engine rating chart at the Search Engine Watch Web site, European audiences access a variety of search sites. Here are some of the most popular by country, along with the percentage of searchers who accessed the sites during 2002.
