::fibreculture:: stats?

[Hugh Brown]

Hi John,

The OECD World Summit on ICTs in development thingy had a great
international comparison a while ago (early 2002, I think) but I'm
buggered if I can find it now ...  The best thing about that report was
that it compiled the results of 8 separate studies of Global ICT
penetration and compared the data - where applicable.

Never mind 80% on the Internet, countries in the Pacific Region (we were
looking specifically at PNG) had something like >5% with access to a PC
and lots of blank spaces in the data!

I'll send you more if I can find it.

Cheers,
Hughie

Can anyone please suggest a good place to find global Internet
statistics 
apart from the abs and the PEW project? The figures I've come across
vary 
dramatically. All I want are some numbers of connections, users, users
by 
country, how much of the infrastructure is actually used (terry, i think
you 
mentioned this once - perhaps in your book), etc... I had a student last

week tell the class that about 80% of the global population uses the 
Internet ---- so if anyone has some up to date figures I'd really
appreciate 
them and/or  links to places to look would be very helpful.
thanks...jOhn...
