English abstract

Between the 4th and the 16th of December 1998, the Institute of Statistics of Catalonia (Idescat) carried out a statistics operation to evaluate the use of the new information and communication technologies in the Spanish society. The study is a part of the report MSSTUDY II, subsidized 50% by the DGXIII of the European Commission, and that in Spain had the cooperation of ASEDIE (Multisectoral Association of the Information). With the collaboration of a company specialized in computer aided telephone interviews (CATI), 1.600 interviews were carried out in private households randomly chosen and in amounts proportional to the population of each Spanish province, taking into account different strata like town size, age and gender. This number of interviews is considered technically enough as for obtaining reliable real data, with a precision level of 95% and a maximal error of 2,5%. To implement the 1.600 interviews it was necessary to carry out nearly 11.000 telephone calls inorder to avoid automatic answer machines (currently a public free service of Telefónica), companies that appear in the telephone directory under personal names, to look for people in the chosen strata, to substitute persons that did not want to answer the questionnaire, etc.
