Internet Usage in the Canary Islands
Tthe latest information from the National Statistics Institute, indicate that 41.7% of homes in the Canary Islands now have internet access, up from 34.9% in the last quarter and 34.2% a year ago. This percentage places the Canary Islands amongst the top ten "connected" regions of Spain, where the number of homes with internet access is above the national average of 39.1%. Considering that around 60% of British homes have internet access and, as long ago as March 2004, it was estimated that the figure in the US had reached 75%, clearly, despite this recent surge, there is still much room for growth in internet usage on the islands.
