SURVEY: HALF OF JAPAN'S POPULATION ONLINE
According to a Japanese government survey, nearly half of Japan's
population
now uses the Internet via computers, cell phones or other devices. The
number of Internet users totals 56 million. The most common use of the
Internet is to exchange emails (64.8 percent), followed by searches for
free
coupons and shopping information (45.9 percent). In 2001, Japan ranked
16th
in the world for Internet users. The United States, by comparison,
ranked
fourth with 166 million users.
