The Household Use of the Internet Survey 2006 (HUIS 2006) is the second in the series of purpose built surveys conducted by the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC). The main objectives were to collect data pertaining to access and use of the Internet in Malaysian homes. Two types of data were collected viz core and trends. The core set was the same as that collected in the HUIS 2005 thereby starting a time series that will eventually grow as future surveys are undertaken to allow meaningful tracking.

In this report, proportions of the home user base that fell into the various categorization schemes of the key variables are presented and proper use of these estimated proportions in conjunction with population estimates at reference date will facilitate the derivation of various Internet penetration rates.

It is to be noted that a “user” is not the same as a “subscriber”.

The survey probed core attributes in demographics and socio-economics of the home Internet user such as：
