Canada uses Internet most

Canada leads global pack in Internet use - Number of people using the Net rose 7% in 2003 - Mark Evans, Financial Post (Jan 22)

"Ipsos-Insight discovered that 71% of Canadian adults accessed the Internet in 2003, compared with 70% in South Korea, 68% in the United States and 65% in Japan. In 2002, U.S. adults were the most active with 72%, while Canada was second at 62% and South Korea at 53%."

Number of people using the Net worldwide rose by 7% mainly due to increases in users in urban China, Germany, Japan and South Korea.
