Ted Swart, of the Department of Computing and Information Science at the University of Guelph, used statistics from Web research company Morgan Stanley to compare Canada's ranking among "wired" countries.
The United States has 28,470 networks, or 114 per million of population. Although Canada has only 4,796 networks, this works out to 192 per million of population.
In 1997, this puts Canada in top position as the "most wired" country, followed by the United States and Australia.
