The Financial Post reports in its Saturday edition almost half of all Internet traffic in Canada is taking place on a mobile device, research firm comScore says. A Canadian Press dispatch to the Post says Canadians are on the verge of passing a major mobile milestone. Of all the time Canadians spend on-line, 49 per cent of it is now tied to mobile devices. There are now 1.3 million Canadians who in the course of a month will only use a mobile device to access the Internet and will not use a computer at all. About 49 per cent of Internet users go on-line with both computers and mobile devices, while 47 per cent use computers exclusively. As of this June, comScore estimated there were 18 million smart phone owners in Canada, which was up 12 per cent since the same time last year. There were 7.8 million tablet owners, which spiked 37 per cent since June, 2013. Of the Canadians with mobile phones, 78 per cent had a smart phone, which was second highest among the countries comScore researches. About 2.7 million Canadians said they streamed video on their mobile devices at least once a week, which surged by 30 per cent in a year, and 1.36 million said they were streaming video content almost every day.
