New research from Wales discovered that more homes in the country have only mobile phones compared to other regions of the UK.
However, instead of perceiving this as a sign that Wales may be slowly becoming a digital nation, study analysts instead perceive it as a sign that people that live in deprived homes prefer the pay as you go mobile option over facing a regular landline charge.
The UK average for mobile only homes is 14%, while in Wales the average of mobile only homes is 19% according to an Ofcom Communications Market Report.
Ofcom representative, Rhodri Williams, stated that while there are many middle class people who decide that it is time to choose either a mobile of a landline and choose the mobile, but majorities of the people in Wales who choose mobile only are low income.
Communications Consumer Panel member Kim Brook stated that there is still a lot of work that needs completed before the UK can be classified as a broadband nation. She added that many people in Wales are still missing out on the economic and social benefits that can be gleamed from an online presence due to the fact they have limited access to regular broadband services.
