There are no statistics available for the percentage of the population with access to an e-mail address, at home at work, in Scotland or in other countries. Theoretically, anyone can have access to an e-mail address if they have access to the internet via a variety of technologies ranging from PCs, Digital TV, WAP mobile phones, video game consoles or handheld computers.Some surveys do measure use of e-mail (rather than access) and in Scotland, for those people that have home access to the internet, more than 75% use e-mail (Scottish Household Survey (SHS) 2001).In order to make comparisons between different countries, it is necessary that the surveys used to collect the information use harmonised questions.
