Canada is one of the most wired countries on Earth. Based on the percentage of the population with Internet access in their homes, Canada is fifth in the world. The United States is third, superceded only by Norway and Singapore, according to a Nua Internet Survey.

And like many countries, the Canadian government is vigorously pursuing a host of e-government objectives in tandem with initiatives to encourage e-commerce.

The Canadian government's Secure Channel initiative played an important role in the country's recent recognition as the number one, global electronic government by Accenture for five consecutive years. Secure Channel is a vital component of the country's Government On-line (GOL) initiative, contributing to the finding by another survey that 64 percent of Canadians felt comfortable submitting personal income tax information online.

By providing a common infrastructure to enable service integration, Secure Channel has proven to be crucial to citizen adoption and service growth of the GOL Initiative, and was part of what lead Accenture to rank the government of Canada the number-one global e-government for five years consecutively.

Smart meters will connect to Internet

Hamilton may soon become one of Ontario's most high-tech municipalities, offering wireless Internet access throughout the city - all a lucky byproduct of the provincial government's plans to conserve energy.

The province's initiative requires standard residential electricity meters to be replaced with new smart meters - meters that offer two-way communication and realtime monitoring and adjustability. Installation will be done progressively and is expected to take until at least 2010.
