  1. The diffusion of information technologiesin France Study conducted by CREDOCforConseil Général des Technologies de l'Information (CGTI)andAutorité de Régulation des Communications Électroniques et des Postes (ARCEP) Press conference 22 November 2006

  2. Survey conducted through face-to-face interviews during the month of June 2006 With 2 228 people representative of the population aged 12 years and over Describes the equipment ownership and uses of individuals (and not households) This survey was conducted for the seventh year in a row The Basics Methodology

  3. Contents • Equipmentand access Fixed telephony – mobile telephony – unbundling – personal computer – Internet (and obstacles to its development) - web use – television • Uses Increasing daily use – work or home: contrasting changes – Uses diversify • The diffusion of technologies Numeric inequities - Differences in use and perception depending on the generation - Differences between men and women

  4. Equipmentand access Fixed telephony and mobile telephony Unbundling Personal computer Internet (and obstacles to its development) Web use Television

  5. For the first time since the mid 1990s, the equipment rate in fixed telephony has stabilised thanks to the maturity of unbundling and "triple play" offers. Close to one in four people now owns a mobile telephone (74% ; +4 points in one year) Telephone equipment rate The fixed telephony equipment rate stops decreasing while the mobile telephony rate continues to grow 

  6. Unbundling is growing: the number of adults stating that they had an unbundled telephone line doubled between June 2005 and June 2006 (from 3 to 7%). The number of people subscribing to France Telecom and an alternative operator fell for the first time since 2000 (from 25 to 22%): this is a consequence of the development of full unbundling Unbundling Fixed telephony: unbundling imposed Breakdown of the population according to the household telephony equipment (as a %) Scope: 18 years and up

  7. Following a period during which we observed a substitution effect between fixed and mobile, people now prefer to own both Telephones Telephony equipment Breakdown of the population by telephony equipment (as a %) Scope: people aged 18 years and up

  8. The rise in computer equipment ownership in the home, while holding steady for the past three years, should see two-thirds of the population equipped by 2009. Four-fifths of teens aged 12 to 17 have a computer in the home (up 5%). Now, 12% of the population has more than one computer in the home. Growth Rise in computer equipment

  9. The number of individuals with an Internet connection in the home continues to grow (43% compared with 39% in 2005). The intention to buy access in the next 12 months has never been so high for adults (22% in 2006 compared with 16% in 2005 and 9% in 2000). Now, two-thirds of teens aged 12 to 17 have a connection in the home. Connection The number of individuals with an Internet connection in the home continues to grow

  10. We now see 55% of those 12 years and up using the web, including all the various means and locations for connections. Web use The number of individuals connecting to Internet continues to grow

  11. 77% of adults have television using a traditional antenna, 25% by satellite, 13% by cable, 10% by digital terrestrial television and 6% by ADSL. Television on mobile telephone service has been introduced too recently to provide significant results (1% of adults report using this service and 2% plan to do so in the next 12 months). Access Television in the home: multi-access is confirmed

  12. Young people are more aware of the importance of protecting their personal data, and they consider this to be the leading obstacle to Internet use: for 25% of young people, insufficient protection of personal data is the leading obstacle to Internet use, compared with 20% of the entire population. Obstacles Obstacles to Internet development

  13. The first step to entering the new technologies world involves buying a telephone (fixed or mobile). The second is buying a computer. The third is connecting to Internet. Summary Chronology of equipment

  14. Uses - Increasingly daily use - Work or home: contrasting development - Uses diversify

  15. 89% of adults owning a personal computeractuallyuse it • The proportion of those using a computer or Internet daily grows strongly every year: 65% of people with a computer in the home use it every day| (+9 points over 2005) Frequency of use Increasingly daily use

  16. Internet connections at work, school or public places remained stable for the second year in a row, confirming the trend revealed by the 2005 survey. This change is contrasted by an increase in equipment and connection rates in the home. Internet at work Work or home: contrasting development

  17. We’re seeing strong growth in music downloads by young people (30% to 43% between June 2005 and June 2006). Adults are downloading more films (12% to 16% between June 2005 and June 2006), and software (30% to 36%). Creating a web site Internet or weblog (blog) is one of the common uses of Internet which requires few skills. This activity is practiced by 9% of the population and 17% of web users. The younger the user, the more likely they are to create content on Internet (37% of 12-17 year olds, 25% of 18-25 year olds, 12% of 25-40 year olds and 8% of 40-60 year olds). Downloads Blogs and personal sites Uses are changing (I)

  18. The success of electronic commerce was confirmed in 2006: 27% of the population and 47% of web users have made purchases on Internet during the past 12 months. 33% of the population plan to make purchases in the next 12 months. Trust in the security of payments is growing: the percentage of adults buying on Internet who hesitate to make purchases over Internet because of fear of poor payment security declined from 41 to 36% between June 2005 and June 2006. Administrative or taxation procedures performed over Internet are becoming more common: 59% of web users have done so in 2006 (48% in 2005 and an increase of 15 points over two years). Electronic commerce Electronic administration Uses are changing (II)

  19. People are telephoning using new media. In June 2006, of those aged 12 and up who telephoned using Internet: • 17% used a box (Freebox, 9box, Livebox, Cbox, etc.), connected to a telephone jack • 6% used the computer with a microphone and software like Skype or Net Meeting (or a Wengo box) • Some use both methods Telephone Uses are changing (III)

  20. The diffusion of information and communication technologies in France - Digital inequalities - Differences between the generations - Differences in uses of information and communication technologies between men and women

  21. While inequalities in equipment ownership are decreasing for computers and Internet, they are still significant. They depend strongly on age, income, education and occupational group. Major differences persist Digital inequalities (I)

  22. Of those individuals aged 12 years and over with no access to a computer at work, school or home (close to 19 million people): • 53% are over the age of 60 • 76% live alone or with one other person • 88% have not completed high school • 70% are unemployed (including 47% retired and 19% housewives) • 54% earn less than 1 500 euros per month Major differences persist Digital inequalities (II)

  23. There continue to be major equipment differences between generations. Uses and frequency are also different (blogs, radio on Internet, downloads, etc.). Equipment The generation gap (I)

  24. Three-quarters of those owning a personal computer also have Internet. Young people are more advanced when it comes to computer equipment: • 66% of those aged 12-17 own a personal computer with Internet • 21% of those aged 60-69 own a personal computer with Internet Computer and Internet The generation gap (II)

  25. There is no significant different between men and women when it comes to information and communication technology ownership or use. The observed differences concern downloads, telephony on IP and computer equipment purchases on Internet. Equality at last? The gender gap “Equipment" covers the entire population “Type and frequency of use" covers the following populations: “Own personal computer in the home", “Computer and Internet user", “Have made purchases on Internet"
