Even in Internet we are lagging behind

The BBC shows a cute map of how the Net has grown world wide, indicating what percentage of the people/home/business of each country is on line (hat tip Alek).  Of course I could not resist the urge of making a little table.

In 1998 Chavez is winning his first election, we are all on the same level.  By 2001 Chile is taking off.  In 2004 Lula and Uribe are president, Chile is reaching European levels and Brazil is taking off while Venezuela and Colombia keep slowly improving.  In 2008 the three countries have rejoined world wide Internet development status while Venezuela is still in the less than 20% penetration.

And I think that the ways things are going chavismo probably thinks that this 16-20 percent is way too high.....
