I read this few stats on the airplane today and thought they would be interesting to my Canadian friends and colleagues:

From Report on Business Magazine (Globe & Mail, July August 2010 p. 30-31):

Canadians with Internet Access at home: 1995 – 6% vs 2010 – 82%

Canadian Internet Users who have high speed access: 1995 – 5% vs 2010 – 95%

Monthly cost of a medium usage basket of wireless services:

Canada: $41.72 US
United States: $52.95 US
Netherlands: $10.95 US
OECD Average: $26.48 US

Financial Post Magazine (June 2010, p. 14)

Cellphone use is up; Landline use is falling; Smartphones will be the next boom in tech devices.”
“Half of all cellphone users will be on smartphones by fall 2011″
