It seems a certainty that more than half our populations will be online in ten years' time, with 97% thinking so (100% UK, 93% USA). The Americans were a little more optimistic that a large proportion of the population will be online, with 93% expecting coverage to reach 7 out of 10 or more households, compared to 85% for Britons.

Broadband access seems a little further off, but respondents were still optimistic with four fifths (81% UK, 79% USA) expecting to see more than half of households online with fast access in 2010. Opinion was more varied on this issue, however, with little difference between the two countries.
