of Internet Providers and Services in Ontario 1996,  has recently 
completed a survey of the Internet industry in Canada to identify the 
breakdown in subscriber base, profile of the companies, and most widely 
used Web servers, platforms and connectivity equipment.

The highlights of the results are as follows:

 About 80% operated with 3000 or less subscribers at the end of June

 About 48% were incorporated or registered in 1995

� Apache is the most popular free Web server 
 
� Netscape's servers are the most widely used commercial Web servers
 
� Intel-based machines and UNIX variants are the choice platforms for the 
majority of those surveyed
 
The results and the profiles of the Internet companies, which have so 
graciously agreed to share information about their Internet operations 
with the nation, are now published in 

      NATIONAL SURVEY OF THE INTERNET INDUSTRY IN CANADA
