Senator Ludlam asked:
Could the ABC provide some data on how many people access iView?

Answer:
In October 2009, ABC iView recorded 286,000 visitors and 1.054 million visits. These were the highest figures recorded to date.

A ‘visitor' is defined as an individual computer, not as a person, because more than one person may use the same computer and one person may use more than one computer. One visitor can generate multiple visits to a site, which can include a series of actions when the website is entered.
