Net Hookups Double in Europe Wired News Report 3:00 a.m. 7.Jun.99.PDT Even without the flat-rate local phone service enjoyed by most American Internet users, the number of European households and businesses connected to the Internet almost doubled last year, according to a new survey published Monday. In a summary of research firm Dataquest's findings published in The Wall Street Journal Monday, 10 percent of Western European households were connected to the Net last year. That compares to 5 percent last year and a projected 17 percent by the end of this year -- a penetration rate roughly equivalent to 26 million households. Although the gains are impressive, they lag far behind the spread of Net connections in the United States. Dataquest estimated 36 percent of US homes were online as of last December.
