The UK leads the world when it comes to watching or catching up on television over the internet. According to Ofcom's (UK) 7th International Communications Market Report, almost a quarter of British internet users (23%) claim to take advantage of TV services over the net on a weekly basis, driven by the ease of access to online TV catch-up services such as BBC iPlayer, Sky Go and 4OD.
The UK was ahead of the USA, who ranked second at 17%, and Spain (third at 16%). The Ofcom report examines "take-up, availability, price and use of broadband, landlines, mobiles, TV, radio and post across 17 major countries".
