A new study by Uganda's telecommunications regulator has showed that 46% of Ugandans in the capital, Kampala and three major towns use the Internet.

The Uganda Communications Commission (UCC) conducted what they called a simple survey around Kampala, Jinja, Mbale, Lira and Mbarara during the month of October 2005 to gauge Internet development in Uthe country.

"In terms of frequency of use of the Internet, analysed over on a monthly basis, 46% of the correspondents were daily users while 28% used the Internet once a month, 11% never use the Internet and 14% use it around once a month," the report reads in part.

The study shows that about 80% of those respondents that use the Internet do so at Internet cafés while 8% had home connections, 6.4% access the Internet from a friend's place and 5.7% use hotspot connections.
