| Abstract: | The Internet has become a powerful force in peoples lives bringing information from around the globe, changing the way the world purchases products and services, and creating new means of communication and media. Unique to each region of the world though is the degree to which the Internet has been adopted and is being utilized. The progression of Internet development has been shown to occur in three stages: acquisition of Web literacy, Web use as an information medium, and Web use for purchasing goods and services. In each of the following regions, North America, South America, Africa, Europe, Middle East, Asia and Oceania, countries can be described as existing in one of these stages. A sampling of the countries within each region analyzes how and to what degree the people of that nation utilize the Internet and who provides the services offered, what services are offered, and obstacles presented in offering those services. In addition, it examines the role the Internet plays in commerce, and the extent to which the government of that country has taken as to its Internet policies. |
