More than half (57%) of Internet
users are from the USA despite making up just 4.7% of the world population.
UN Secretary General Kofi Anan
warned of the danger of excluding the world's poor from the information

and drinkable water. Today, being cut off from basic telecommunications
services is a hardship almost as acute as these other deprivations, and
may indeed reduce the chances of finding remedies to them," he said.
