Eurokids fastest-growing online population segment (Oct 01 2003 21:57 GMT) - Kids in Europe who surf the 'Net for everything from tunes to term paper templates have become the fastest-growing portion of the Internet population, according to a new Nielsen/Netratings study released yesterday. Some 13 million children under the age of 18 in eight countries surveyed surf the web for school work, games and music, a rise of some 27 percent over last year. Four million were under age 12... the findings from the survey covering Britain, Germany, France, Italy, Sweden, Switzerland, Spain and the Netherlands suggest that a plea from educators and politicians to add the Internet to school curricula and make high-speed Internet services cheaper as well as more accessible is paying off.

"Whether or not the recall succeeds, Bustamante will look very vulnerable if indeed he doesn't come out first in the election," said Sherry Bebitch Jeffe, a political analyst at the University of Southern California. |
