Forty six percent of Ugandans, in a survey by the Uganda Communications Commission last year, said they use the Internet on a daily basis.
The survey was carried out in the districts of Kampala, Jinja, Mbale, Lira and Mbarara in October 2005 by random sampling on selected respondents through questionnaires.
This is the first kind of survey done by UCC on Internet use in the country so far.
The findings of the survey show that 28 percent of the respondents use the Internet once a month, 11 percent never use it while 14 percent use it once a month.
"The implication of the findings is that there is need to raise awareness of the use and importance of Internet," the survey said.
Eighty percent of the respondents who use the Internet on a daily basis access it from Internet cafes while only 8 perent have home connections.
