Abstract:

The Household Internet Use Survey is being conducted by Statistics Canada
on behalf of Industry Canada. The information from this survey will assist
the Science and Technology Redesign Project at Statistics Canada to fulfil
a three-year contractual agreement between them and the Telecommunications
and Policy Branch of Industry Canada. The Household Internet Use Survey is
a voluntary survey. It will provide information on the use of computers
for communication purposes, and households' access and use of the Internet
from home.

The objective of this survey is to measure the demand for
telecommunications services by Canadian households. To assess the demand,
we measure the frequency and intensity of use of what is commonly referred
to as "the information highway" among other things. This was done by
asking questions relating to the accessibility of the Internet to Canadian
households both at home, the workplace and a number of other locations.
