| People spend 27 minutes a week making calls on their mobiles, up nearly three times from 1999. 8 per cent of Britons own a digital music player, such as the Apple iPod. Households with a fast broadband internet connection are spending 18 hours a week online with an increasing number downloading video clips. Children spend more than half their time watching TV channels other than the traditional BBC One to Five. Radio stations have mushroomed, as people find more time to tune in. Over the past five years, the total amount of time spent listening to the radio increased by 13 per cent. Around Britain, there are 56 more analogue radio stations than there were a decade ago - and 32 new digital only stations, fuelled by the arrival of digital radios. Overall television is still growing, although by a modest 2 per cent in the four years to 2003 to 26.1 hours a week. But there are signs that TV watching faces a real threat from internet surfing. | |
