"La pénétration d'Internet dans les foyers continue d'augmenter."
This is the opening line of a short text about online shopping/e-business. I know what it means ;-) but as it's the first sentence I'd love something "snappy". So far I have "More and more households are connected to the Internet" which doesn't really incite me to keep reading. Anyone creative out there who's not on holiday?
Many thanks!
