Coverage
Data collection ongoing since 2001.
During the time between 2001 and 2006, approximately 1,000 completed interviews were carried out each month.
From 2007-2009, approximately 4,300 interviews were carried out annually in April.
In 2010, 4,600 completed interviews were conducted because the sample population was expanded (from 16-74 to 16-89 years).
In 2011, 4,988 completed interviews (16-89 years) were conducted and in 2012, 5,224 interviews (16-89 years) were completed.
This survey replaces the study 'PCs and access to the Internet' (Pc'ere og adgang til internet) (1997-2000).

Data quality
N.A.
Changes in the sampling method and the age groups included.
In the period 2001-2006, a sample was drawn every month, but since 2007, only one sample has been drawn each year.
The age group covered was expanded in 2010, when the population aged 75-89 years was included.
The questions vary over time in order to reflect the rapid changes in computer technology.
