The Internet Stratification: Tales of an Unequal Web @ Techgage

A very interesting read.

Think that the Web is equal for all? Not quite. While countries with great access to the Internet move towards creating content-heavy websites and services that require ever faster connections, there exists even more countries that would simply like a stable and reliable Internet connection to begin with. Read on to explore this digital divide.

I can relate to the stable internet issue, about a year ago I had to switch from ADSL to cable because the DSL company oversold my area.  How did I know? Well every day at around 5pm until 9pm the internet connection was so congested I couldn't even pull up a website.

I blame netflicks.
