Internet ad spending to double: survey

Article Abstract:

Internet advertising spending in Canada is likely to more than double to C$20.7 million in 1998, compared to C$9.5 million in 1997, according to an industry survey. The figures were based on a survey reported by Ernst & Young Management Consultants of Toronto, Ontario. Ernst & Young also estimates advertising spending on Canadian World Wide Web sites would go up to C$37.7 million in 1999. High-tech firms, financial services providers, automotive companies, and publishers are expected to be the biggest spenders on on-line advertising. Meanwhile, Tucows Interactive Ltd. President John Nemanic estimates Internet ad spending to increase two to three times larger than Ernst & Young's forecast.

Bell Canada's way of pricing its high-speed Internet access service is being questioned by a six Internet service providers (ISPs) in Ontario before the Competition Bureau. The group of ISPs wants the bureau to start an inquiry into how much Bell's Bell Sygma Inc. unit charges clients for its assymetrical digital subscriber line, or ADSL, service.
