Research commissioned by Rogers on how connected Canadians are using the Internet now and how they want to use it tomorrow.

1. May 2012

2. Methodology
From April 13th to April 15th 2012, an online survey was
conducted among 1,010 randomly selected adult Canadians
who own a smartphone and are connected to the internet . All
were Angus Reid Forum panelists. The margin of error—which
measures sampling variability—is +/- 3.1%, nineteen times out
of twenty. The results have been statistically weighted according
to region and gender. Discrepancies in or between totals are
due to rounding.
