From the Paper:

"Cable television in Canada has had a history of slow growth, with an increase in subscribers in recent years. One reason for this is the advent of digital services and the increased possibility of offering computer services along with television services, suggesting that high-speed Internet is more appealing than cable television. According to a recent newspaper article, the number of cable TV subscribers increased by 0.4 per cent to 7.6 million as of Aug. 31, 2004, and this was seen as a clear improvement after four consecutive years of declines (McLean B1)."
