Ofcom Technology Tracker

The Technology Tracker is produced by Ofcom with the objective to track the attitudes and behaviour of the general public with respect to the residential telecommunications market as well as broadcasting more generally. This research measures awareness, access, use of and attitudes towards fixed and mobile telecoms, internet, multi-channel TV, and radio, among UK adults (aged 16+).

Fieldwork is conducted in the UK, face-to-face, in-home. The data are initially weighted to correct the over-representation of nations, regions and areas to produce a geographically representative sample. They are then weighted by age, gender, social class, working status, and region to match the known population profile.
