New media grows more popular in Canada: CRTC report

Nearly two-thirds of the Canada's households were online in 2006,
with more Canadians turning to high-speed internet subscriptions.

The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission
(CRTC) released its eighth annual Broadcasting Monitoring Report on
Tuesday, which analyzed the country's radio, television, broadcasting
distribution and new media sectors.

The report illustrates how Canadians are increasingly turning to new media for both entertainment and other activities.

The CRTC said 70 per cent of Canadian households subscribed to the
internet in 2006, a slightly higher figure than in 2005. And about 60
per cent of households had a high-speed subscription, up from 51 per
cent the previous year.
