Market intelligence and advisory firm IDC has predicted that Internet penetration in Central and Eastern Europe is set to reach 17% in 2003.

IDC goes on to state that it expects this figure to rise to 27% by 2006 - mostly driven by users in the workplace and schools. The company also states that low home penetration rates are preventing the region from catching up with Internet penetration levels in Western Europe.
