The same day that the CRTC issued its new private TV policy, Ipsos reported<\/a> that for the first time, weekly internet usage in Canada\u00a0overtook TV viewing.<\/p>\n

But all is not as it seems. If you look carefully at the Ipsos release (that is – look past the headline), you realize that their study was from the Ipsos Online panel. In other words, for people who are already on-line enough that they don’t mind doing on-line surveys, these people now spend more time\u00a0in front of the computer than they do in front of the TV.<\/p>\n
