I was hoping I could get some free info, and I think I've found some
figures I can use.

Thanks, Brucie, for the link. Very handy, and interesting to see Albania
has 10 ISPs for 1200 users. The tech support guys must be Minesweeper
experts.

hunt around for other articles at cyber atlas, even though the US thinks
its the only country in the world the articles occasionally have
breakdown numbers by country.

I wouldnt bother with it Daniel. This "internet" thing that people keep
talking about is just a fad. It will never take off. Nobody is going to
want to jump on the band wagon over here.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

The question:
Do you use the internet?

Reminds me of a send-up news program where the telephone poll question
was 'Do you have a phone'. Yes 51%, No 49%.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

I guess I went over most other (as in not you) people's heads....as
usual.

I was trying to say that polls are next-to-worthless, but at least
retain a reputable (?) company like Mori to conduct it.
