Sometimes I find websites that contain interesting information, but I can’t figure out a “work application.” In many cases, I am sure there are reasons legal researchers may need the data, I’m just drawing a blank. Internet World Statistics falls into that category. “Internet World Stats is an International website that features up to date world Internet Usage, Population Statistics and Internet Market Research Data, for over 233 individual countries and world regions.”
The researcher selects a region of the world to find population, country size, number of internet users, and number of broadband subscribers. The site provides easy to read graphics to summarize the data collected.
The site also supports a search box for keyword searches. Their FAQ page offers some searching tips and background on the site.
