Digital divide


Where in the world is the digital divide?
BBC News Online "At-a-glance" feature with some startling statistics.
There are fuller sources, I know (& an argument that the true digital divide is not between the haves/have nots, but the use/don't use) but this struck me as a useful starting point.
Opening text:
In 2003 leaders at the United Nations World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) agreed that by 2015, more than half the world should be in reach of the net.
The world is still a long way from that goal.
The second part of the summit in November 2005 takes stock of how far the world has come.
