Abstract Over the past several years, in Canada the Internet has joined the basket of core communication services necessary for full participation in society. The Internet has been integrated as a resource in the every day social relationships and activities of an increasing number of individuals and organizations. More recently a significant amount of the investment in the Internet has involved commodification of its delivery, as well as content and services. This has been supported and encouraged by government policy and regulatory frameworks. Central to these two commodification trends, a number of tensions have emerged relating to how the Internet is being developed, who has access and how it is being used by the public. While the integration of the Internet into social relations offers numerous opportunities for the public and for public policy, there are also a number of existing, and potentially other, drawbacks. This paper analyzes the diffusion and use of the Internet in Canada from several perspectives. The first section assesses where the public is in using and deriving value from the Net. This is partially concerned with the emergence of a digital divide. Next the paper explores the mutuality of online content and how content can meet a duality of needs for the public, embodying private/commercial and democratic/public needs. Analysis of community organizations as intermediaries demonstrates the potential of the Internet as a democratic resource for addressing digital divide issues and, for integrating social relationships and facilitating the development of social infrastructure, social capital and social cohesion. In this broader view of focusing on social relations, instead of technology, analysis demonstrates the potential and limitations for using the Internet as a resource in social and economic development.
