In mid December, Statistics Canada released the 2009 survey of Household Spending which showed that 78% of Canadian Households have an internet connection.
What wasn’t released in the Daily was that only 81.7% of Canadian Households reported having a personal computer. So this would seem to imply that more than 95% of households with a computer are connected to the internet.
Our biggest challenge in driving increased digital connectivity appears to be getting more computing devices into the hands of Canadians.

One could take the same data and come to the opposite conclusion. There appears to be little point in PC ownership without internet connectivity, so the limiting factor could just as easily be demand for internet connectivity. If consumers found they could get greater value from their internet service providers, this would naturally spur demand to purchase computers.
