Notes: There are now more mobile-only than desktop-only adult internet users in the US, says comScore, as the former accounted for 11.3% share of connected adults in March, versus 10.6% share for the latter. Interestingly, the milestone was reached as a result of an uptick in multi-platform users rather than a hike in mobile-only users, which had been in the 11-12% range for the 6 months prior. Instead, the share of adult internet users who access the internet using only desktops almost halved over the space of year, from 19.1% in March 2014 to 10.6% in March of this year.
