Use of information and communications technology
The survey describes households' use of information and communications technology (ICT), their IT equipment and Internet connections. The survey examines how the population uses computers and other equipment, and purposes and frequency of Internet use. A similar survey is carried out in all EU countries.
The survey also includes questions for persons who do not use the Internet, a computer or a
mobile phone.
The results of the survey produce statistics that are available to all of us – and support decisions affecting society.
