"For each Internet connection the average number of persons with access is between six and eight. A lot more are using the Internet than that figure indicates," Mr. Paulwell contended.

The Technology Minister noted that with broadband access, both wireless and wired, scheduled to be available islandwide by year end, the number of access will increase significantly.

They do partially match up

itu reports:

1,067,000 Internet users as of December, 2005;
24.7% of the population

The gleaner reports:

Of the 26.9 per cent of households which have Internet access, 7.4 per cent was home only; 5.9 per cent both home and office; 3.6 per cent, other locations such as school and library, while friends was 9.9 per cent.

Those of you on TJ that ran your own islandwide survey can throw the first stone.

its about time somebody get some prove because i know that ITU survey was too "good to be true"

[juiceheadband]

of a estimation of over 2 million poeple in jamica it is said over 1 million people are said to be using it in 2006

The number is most likely based on availability and not the actual amount of internet customers. In simple words: An Internet Cafe is counted as one internet customer but MANY persons use Internet Cafes.

My 2 cents.
