rise this year, finds report

and an additional 1.9 million will do so in the next 12 months, according to a
new report.

2006 Internet Report suggests that the doubling of demand is being driven by
positive experiences of the technology.

“Most users are quite satisfied and will use it more in the future,” said
Continental associate director James Myring.

had made voice calls over the internet. Aside from Microsoft’s MSN Messenger
with 20 percent, no other supplier made it to double-figure market share.
