Most people believe that access to the internet and streaming media services should be a right, according to a new survey.
A poll conducted across 26 different countries by GlobeScan on behalf of BBC Worldwide found that nearly 80 per cent of adults believe internet access is their fundamental right. Chinese and South Korean respondents felt particularly strongly that internet access is a right that should not be regulated. The survey, which questioned over 27,000 people, reveals that 87 per cent of people believe web access should be a right to everyone, while over 70 per cent of non-internet users believe they should have access to the internet. Respondents cited the large amount of information online and social networking as the main benefits of the internet. Doug Miller, chairman of GlobeScan, said: "Despite worries about privacy and fraud, people around the world see access to the internet as their fundamental right. They think the web is a force for good and most don't want governments to regulate it."  |
