The digital divide in the UK is particularly significant among the elderly people and the disabled. This was the conclusion of a report by Good Things Foundation and Professor Simeon Yates, titled 'The real digital divide?'. The research uncovered that 15.2 million people in the UK were found to be either 'non-users' (defined as people who have no internet access or don't use the internet even if they have access) or 'limited users' (people who rarely and infrequently go online). 47.7% of the 'non-user' group were found to have "a long-standing illness, disability or infirmity", representing around 3.7 million people in the UK. 64.4% of non-users in the report are aged 65 or over. The report is based on a 2015 report from telecommunications regulatory body Ofcom on 'Adults' media use and attitudes'
