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.
