Some weeks ago, Wenhog Chen, Jeph Boase and I asked AoIR-niks for leads to
information on world wise use of the Internet. A number of folks were kind
enough to respond privately.  Wenhong has compiled the information. It
appears below.

She, Jeph and I thank you all. Our handiwork will appeat in The Internet
in Everyday Life, edited by Caroline Haythornthwaite and myself, published
by Blackwells in Spring-Summer 2002.

A couple of weeks ago, Barry, Jeff and I asked for your help for reliable
data on international internet use. Now, we would like to thank Eszter
Hargittai, Joan Koreman,, Ian Ketcheson, David Neice, Greg Wise, Jeremy
Crampton, Gitte Stald, Jenni Shi and others for their valuable info.
Furthermore, we compiled a short list of websites where you may find
interesting data on global digital divide and internet usage in different
countries. 


Commercial site:
Industry Almanac: http://www.c-i-a.com/199809iu.htm
 Nua: http://www.nua.ie/surveys/index.cgi),
 CyberAtlas - http://cyberatlas.internet.com 
 E-Marketer - (http://www.emarketer.com
www.telegeography.com

Organizations:

http://www.undp.org/hdr2001/
http://www.itu.int
http://www.idc.com.

We are working on our paper on international internet use  and we are now
using data on internet penetration rate from a report of international
labor organization  (http://www.ilo.org/public/english/bureau/inf/pkits/). 


Thanks again!
