Internet Penetration Levels Remain Low in Eastern Europe

Internet penetration levels are low in Eastern Europe when compared with those in Western Europe and penetration levels have a strong relationship with GDP per capita. The major block preventing higher usage rates is the high cost of computers compared with incomes. The average Internet penetration rate in the ten countries which have recently joined the EU was around a third lower than in the rest of the EU in mid-2004.
