Broadband in Europe

According to a survey carried out across Europe, broadband usage has seen a rise of around 12% from statistics from 2006. The survey asked 150,000 households across Europe - with the exception of Malta - about their broadband habits. The survey showed that in the first three months of 2007, 54% of households had access to an internet connection, a rise from around 49% in 2006.

Results from the survey showed that around 42% of households in the EU now have access to a broadband connection. Percentages for households with access to the internet varied from country to country - from 19% in Bulgaria to 83% in the Netherlands.

Figures for the UK showed internet access had risen to around 67% - a rise of 4% compared to 2006 - and there has been a sharp rise in the percentage of broadband connections - rising to 57% from last year. With a number of broadband providers now on the market, consumers now have a wide choice of services available to them.

Whilst half of users had sent attachments with e-mails, around a quarter said they had used newsgroups, online discussions and chat rooms. One in ten of those surveyed had created their own web page, with a further 15% having used the internet for making phone calls.

The survey also showed details of the internet habits based on age and gender. The results showed that almost one-third of men over the age of 55 use the internet at least once a week - compared to less than a fifth for women. The results concluded that younger users are more likely to spend time on the internet.

However the results also showed that the numbers of internet users in the 55-to-74 age bracket has seen a rise and the numbers of women in that age gap using the internet - whilst still lower than those of men - has almost doubled in the past three years.

Police Scanner Accessories

When purchase a police scanner you may want to think about some of the accessories that you may need to go with your scanner. Some of these accessories are antennas, extension speakers, ear buds, batteries, battery chargers, AC and DC adapters, protective cases, surge protectors, and lightning protectors. You may want to purchase some of these items to enhance your scanning experience.

When you purchase a scanner, it will come with a standard rubber ducky?antenna. These work fine, but if you want to get more distance and improve your reception you may want to think about an additional antenna.
Ah yes, those scanning extras that are made to enhance your scanning experience.

When it comes to scanner accessories, there is an extensive assortment of products to choose from. The types of antennas that you might run into are Telescoping, omini directional, disc one, magnet mount, and window mount. If you have a handheld scanner, you will need the telescoping type and if you have the base, you will want to find a disc one or roof-mounted antenna.

When it comes to external speakers, you will want these when in noisy places. They can set on top of a desk or mounted on a vehicle. For the ear buds accessories you will want them when the noise has gotten way too much. You simply plug them into the jacket pocket and feed the cord up your back, then it will go to your ear, and it is usually hard to detect that you are listing to anything. It is great for private investigators because you are able to listen to the scanner in one eye and still hear whats going on around you with the other ear. You must take inconsideration that not everything is made the same.

With different brands, you will have different qualities. For instance, some may fit your ear better than others, which will make your listening session more comfortable. When purchasing an earbud accessory you will want to consider cord length, color, and if you will need an ear clip. Ear clips help the ear bud to stay in your earlobe.
Another accessory that you will need is a batter or adaptor.

A battery comes in all shapes and sizes and if you have, a handheld you will most likely need a few AA cells with maybe lithium or lithium-ion charge. Alkaline batters will be better for most handhelds. Dont forget, with a batter you will need a battery charger too. A charger is only necessary if you are looking about purchasing rechargeable batteries.

You will need an AC adapter if you are planning on playing it at your house or if you want to use your household voltage. For DC adapters you will only need them if you will need it for a car, truck, or boat.
