According to Verdict Research:
Online retailing in the UK has grown at its fastest rate (33.4% to £10.9bn last year) since the dotcom bubble burst. Cheaper broadband is fuelling the growth in online shopping and several industries are moving quickly into cyberspace.

1. Food retailers that were not already providing an online service were staying off because the cost of launching a web operation was too high.
