TAIPEI, Feb 4 Asia Pulse - The number of Internet users in Taiwan reached 14.76 million in 2007, an increase of 1.7 per cent over the year-earlier level, the Institute for Information Industry (III) estimated Saturday.
The estimate was based on a survey conducted last August by the institute's Foreseeing Innovative New Digiservices, which revealed that 64.4 per cent of individuals in Taiwan have access to the Internet, up 0.6 percentage points from the previous year.
Internet use is more common among residents in northern Taiwan than in other parts of the country, with 66 per cent of northern Taiwan residents and 73.6 per cent of those in Taipei City being Internet users, the survey results show.
Home was mentioned by 88.2 per cent of users as where they usually use the Internet, compared with offices by 33.7 per cent of users and schools or research institutes by 25.5 per cent of users. Less than 16 per cent of users said they use Internet cafes or other public establishments for surfing the Web.
Respondents who had used the Internet at home during the month before the survey was conducted went online on 21.8 days of the month on average, with each spending an average of 16 hours online per week.
Classifying home Internet users according the amount of time they spend online, 43 per cent are defined as heavy users who are online more than two hours per day and 31.9 per cent are light users who are online no more than one hour per day.
The survey, carried out last Aug. 4-23, was part of a study on the status of broadband, mobile and wireless use among Taiwan households in 2007. A total of 2,751 households responded to the survey.
