* 79% of users access the Internet at least once a week, with 52% online everyday/most days (TGI Q1 2006)
* 55% of users state they would be lost without online access (Millward Brown / EIAA Media Consumption study November 2004)
* The Internet today is demanding over a quarter of weekday media time (Aged 15+ online, BMRB Internet Monitor Q3 2005)

By comparison, radio's market share during the same period was 3.8%. Rapidly rising demand for broadband Internet access and increased advertiser confidence have pushed online's market share beyond that of radio.
