The statistic depicts the results of a survey about the percentage of U.S. mobile subscribers who use their mobile phones or smartphones to access the internet from 2008 to 2011. In 2011, 41 percent of the U.S. mobile subscribers used their phones to access the internet.
Which, if any, of the following activities do you use your smartphone/mobile phone for? Access the internet.
Note: Change since 2010 may be understated due to a change in the way in which the question was
asked. In 2008 and 2010 the Ofcom asked respondents to classify whether they had “ever” used their mobile
phone for activities; in 2011 "Ofcom research" simply asked what activities they used their mobile phone for.
