The State of The Internet

The State of The Internet has tons of amazing infographs that really applied the data to physical locations for me. For example,"While 71% of the people in developed countries are online, only 21% of those in developing countries have access so far. In spite of such regional disparities, the Internet continues to become faster and more affordable overall. As the number of users increases, so does the sheer amount of money, information and opinions exchanged online. When it comes to the Internet's future, most specialists are optimistic: 64% of them believe the flow of information online will remain mostly free rather than falling under the control of powerful institutions and 81% believe the Internet will enhance human intelligence."
The State of The Internet has also provided me with other interesting facts, such as the locations of 3 major Internet backbones: DE-CIX The Deutscher Commercial Internet Exchange in Frankfurt, TAT-14 an underwater cable connecting New Jersey and much of Europe, and the VSNL Tata Communications Limited in Mumbai. These Internet backbones are critical to infrastructure, for example, ex-president Mubarak leveraged a backbone in Egypt to cut off Internet to the entire country. Speaking of which, The State of The Internet also has a nice infograph showing which countries censor their citizens Internet access (China is excluded for some reason). For example, both Saudi Arabia and Burma heavily censor their sites, only allowing traffic for government approvied sites, which greatly hurts the global economy. Other places like Syria, totally shut down access to the web in a blatant violation to human rights. This is where I'm concerned. As a whole, as one Internet, we need make the world aware of these censorship actions. The State of The Internet is doing it's part, what are you doing to spread awareness and fight censorship?
