Although the IT revolution contributes to the development of the Information Society, a part of citizens is excluded from this society because they have neither the possibility nor need to use the Internet. This paper focuses on statistical determination and analysis of factors influencing the increase of the percentage of European Union citizens often using the Internet. The ordinary least square method has been used to estimate an econometric model describing the change in percentage of EU-27 citizens frequently using the Internet. Additionally, the paper applies the model to simulate the effects of political decisions concerning the development of the Information Society.
