- 1. Getting Connected or Staying Unplugged: The Growing Use of Computer Communications Services ArchivedArticles and reports: 63F0002X1999027Description:
Computer communications occur when someone connects a computer to a communications network to access information on the Internet, to send and receive e-mail, or to use electronic banking services. This article uses 1998 data to update previous estimates of the proportion of Canadian households regularly using computer communications, analyzing the relationships between usage and location of use, household income, and other demographic factors. The article also looks at the growth of household connectedness over the past year, as well as the time spent using computer communications from home for a variety of services that can be accessed through the Internet.
Release date: 1999-12-24 - 2. Plugged into the Internet ArchivedArticles and reports: 11-008-X19990034786Geography: CanadaDescription:
This article provides information about Internet usage by Canadian households at the end of the 20th century.
Release date: 1999-12-09 - 3. Telecommunications statistics, 1997 ArchivedStats in brief: 56-001-X19990025192Description:
This report is an advance of selected data from the 1997 Annual Survey of Telecommunications Service Providers. This newly redesigned survey serves to measure the telecommunications industry's financial performance as well as aspects of network infrastructure and connectedness.
Release date: 1999-08-20 - 4. A Reality Check to Defining E-commerce ArchivedArticles and reports: 88F0006X1999006Description:
This study provides background information towards developing working definitions of e-commerce. In addition, through selected case studies it examines whether respondents could provide information for such measurements. The study distinguishes between e-commerce and e-business, the former being a sub-set of the latter and emphasizes computer-mediation as an important feature of this phenomenon. A definition of e-commerce is then proposed: "Transactions carried over computer-mediated channels that comprise the transfer of ownership or the entitlement to use tangible or intangible assets".
Release date: 1999-08-20 - Articles and reports: 88-003-X19990014624Geography: CanadaDescription:

Release date: 1999-07-23 - Articles and reports: 88-003-X19990014628Geography: CanadaDescription:
Foreign ownership in telecommunications - always a sensitive issue for Canada - is likely to become even more important for policymakers to follow in the future, as globalization leads to increased competition. A new paper from Statistics Canada sheds light on the make-up of the industry, comparing the performance of foreign-and-Canadian-controlled firms.

This paper will look at challenges facing ISPs today including barriers to growth, competing in the Internet sector, complaints and practices regarding offensive content and conduct, as well as ISPs' perceptions of what is important to customers. These issues will be analysed after classifying ISPs into four different size categories, based on ISP revenue. This will enable one to see any differences in perception or conduct between ISPs of varying sizes.
Release date: 1999-07-15 - 10. Canada's Preparedness for the Year 2000 Computer Problem: Findings from the February 1999 Survey ArchivedArticles and reports: 61F0057M1999004Description:
An extensive survey on preparedness for the Year 2000 computer bug was conducted by Statistics Canada in February and March of 1999. Senior managers in some 10,100 public and private organizations from across Canada were contacted. They were asked about the various steps that their organizations might have taken to address the Year 2000 issue, including: assessment, conversion and testing of systems for Year 2000 compliance; communications with business partners (customers, suppliers and service providers), and Year 2000-related contingency planning. Questions on the timelines that had been established for completing these preparations were also included.
In general, most businesses and organizations said they had taken at least some steps to prepare their systems. Respondents also reported they were confident that their organizations would be ready in time for the Year 2000, and most organizations expected to be ready before the end of September of 1999. Preparations, however, generally remained a work in progress, and some organizations were not planning to finish until the last quarter of the year. This report includes detailed tabulations of the survey results, with breakdowns for 16 industrial sectors and five geographic regions.

Rural populations are defined, in part, by their distance to a metropolitan centre. The use of computers and, more recently, access to the Internet have been proposed as a way for rural residents to reduce the cost of distance. The purposes of this bulletin are to review the use of computers by members of rural households and, specifically, to review their use of the Internet.

This report, revised in May 1999, describes the Electronic Publications Pilot (EPP) which was conducted to gather knowledge on how library staff and their clients are adjusting to the Internet. The pilot was conducted from September 1996 to September 1997 as a joint initiative of Statistics Canada and the Depository Services Program (DSP), in partnership with the depository library community. The objective of the pilot was to assess the impact of replacing print publications with electronic equivalents via the Internet in DSP libraries. This objective was based on an assumption that the electronic medium will complement print rather than replace it entirely and that departments will continue to produce some print publications in the future. The major conclusions of the pilot cover resources and training, web site feedback, selection of publications for conversion to electronic format, web site access and security, publication functionality and access and archiving.
