Irish mobile and internet penetration increased during the fourth quarter of 2002, according to the country’s Commission for Communications Regulation (Comreg).
Some 79% of the the Irish population now have a mobile phone, a 2% increase on Q3 (see Irish Telecoms Industry In Good Heart) and subscribers send an average of 72 text messages every month.
Internet usage was up by 4% during 2002 to 40% and four out of every ten web users in Ireland made an online purchase in the final quarter. ISDN penetration rose by 30% last year but DSL has only a minority presence despite experiencing 74% growth in the last three months of the year.
