Internet-savvy Britons lead digital league

Britons emerge as a nation of gadget-savvy internet junkies – spending more time than the rest of Europe browsing the internet, social networking and playing video games – in new research by OFCOM, the United Kingdom communications regulator published in November 2008. The UK also leads a comparison of 12 industrialised nations (including France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Spain, the Netherlands, Sweden and the Republic of Ireland) in digital television take-up and use of digital video recorders.
