Top 15 broadband economies worldwide (2003)
Posted : July 14, 2004 at 3:32 pm [America/Los_Angeles]
Today, I am starting a new category on my blog - Internet Adoption across the Globe. The goal here is simple:
To capture the current status and progress (or lack thereof) of Internet adoption across the globe.
While we come across interesting stats about Internet penetration every now and then, it’s very difficult to find a single comprehensive source of such information. I am sure research firms like Gartner, Forrester, IDC, Pew and Nielsen have done comprehensive studies and have plenty of research papers on this subject. The problem is they’re extremely expensive for an individual to lay his/her hands on. Hence this category and my efforts to start capturing this information in one place and make it readily available for free (as in free beer). However, it’s not all for social cause. On a more selfish note, I would some day like to pursue a PhD on this. Or not 
So, to get things rolling, here’s a really useful graph (Source: ITU Internet Reports 2003: Birth of Broadband) showing the top 15 broadband economies of the world:

A quick glance through my AWStats output shows that, barring Iceland, I have had visitors from the remaining 14 top broadband economies of the world! Nice!
Funny thing is, this site also gets hits from hosts with domain ending in .ip and neither I nor AWStats have a clue what country that refers to. Any ideas?
