Internet Access

A good friend works at an agency that is about to release some surprising numbers on access to the Internet by Canadians.

We discussed these last night after watching the Ottawa Senators choke through another playoff game.

It is clear that Canada has backed off Internet access - it was only recently that we were the most connected country in the world - does this mean we are losing connections or just not working as hard at developing the "last mile". A typical Canadian problem.

Country Users per 100 iinhabitants

Sweden 75.46
