[Air-l] Internet adoption rates by country and age: data sources?

[catherine middleton]

Hello all,

I'm looking for internet adoption rates on a national basis, breaking 
out adoption patterns by age. Any suggestions as to where to find 
these data would be most appreciated. I don't have a specific list of 
countries I'm interested in, at this point I'm just trying to see 
what is available.

I am aware of the OECD and ITU internet adoption data, but as far as 
I know neither provides a breakdown by age of adopter.

For anyone interested in this in the Canadian context, these data are 
found in the Household Internet Use survey, conducted by Statistics 
Canada from 1997-2003. It tracks household adoption only, so the age 
data refers to the age of the head of household rather than to 
individual adopters.

Thanks for your help.
