The data on India is interesting. I would have thought there would be more than 50 million internet users in India. That's only about 4 per 100 people. http://

- w1ntermute 16y agoThere are more poor people in eight states of India than in the 26 countries of sub-Saharan Africa That doesn't say anything about the poverty rate. When the vast central Indian Madhya Pradesh state, which has a population of 70 million, was compared with the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the war-racked African state of 62 million inhabitants, the two were found to have near-identical levels of poverty. So that means certain parts of India have equal or greater levels of poverty than certain parts of Africa. But the poverty rate as a whole is lower.
