Young people would miss mobiles and web more than TV, Ofcom survey says
20 April 2011
People aged 16 to 24 say they would miss their mobile phones and the internet more than television, according to research by communications regulator Ofcom. The result is the first time that young people have indicated that television is not their most important type of media.
Although TV remains the media that would be missed the most for the UK as a whole, its popularity is declining: 44 per cent of the population said they would notice its loss the most, compared to 50 per cent in 2009.
