Switzerland reported to have 4 million web users

By Andy Atkins-Kruger on April 2, 2006

According to the Swiss Media Research and Studies organisation (la société Recherches et études des médias publicitaires (REMP)) reported by Edicom, the number of web users in Switzerland now exceeds 4 million representing around 60% of the population. Between April and September, 4 million people accessed the web at least once, says the report – which means that 200,000 more are using the web.

Intriguingly, the growth was greatest in the smaller Italian area of Switerland – around the Ticino canton leading to Lake Maggiore in Italy. Swiss German and French speaking areas managed growth of 5% – although of course this is a larger number of actual users.

Home use has grown more rapidly than work use with more than two-thirds using the internet at home. In the last 3 years, says the report, it is search which has increased most substantially with – alongside gaming.

Unfortunately for money focused-Switzerland, stock market access has actually declined!
