Canadians are now the world’s leading Internet users, says a new Ipsos-Insight study.
Seventy-one-percent of Canadian adults went online in 2003, compared with 70% in South Korea, 68% in the United States and 65% in Japan.
Against that, “In 2002, U.S. adults were the most active with 72%, while Canada was second at 62% and South Korea at 53%,” says the Financial Post here.
Globally, the survey found the number of people using the Net last year climbed more than 7%, “mostly driven by users in urban China, Germany, Japan and South Korea, while there was steady growth in urban Russia and Western European countries,” says the story.
“Growth in the U.S. market, however, stagnated due to its high saturation point.”
However, it adds, the US still has the most Internet users, with about 128 million people online. Japan has 56 million, Germany 39 million, Britain and South Korea 23 million, France 18 million and Canada 16 million.
