| It looks like it's not based on percents. Countries with bigger populations, though maybe not thriving, are higher on the list. |

| Guys, this is actual number, not percentage. Tha is wh Canada is only 20 while Egypt is 19. It may have a much lower percentage, but Egypt has over double the population. |

| How is China #1?... Last I checked, most of their population is impoverished, they're still transitioning from an agrarian society to an industrial one (much of their population remains in rural areas, tending to crops and their lands), and a citizen there is more likely to make a computer in factory than buy one in a store... |

| Texar, that was not by percents, but by population. China has the biggest population. Maybe 30% of Chinese people have internet, but 30% of that is 300000000. Then USA has 60% of their users on the internet, but 60% of that is 210000000. 30% of China is bigger than 60% of USA. Those were made-up percents to explain everything. |

@Texar
Ever heard of internet cafe? It's quite popular in China. There's internet cafes everywhere in China, even in small villages. |

| China is probably censored to some extent. I do expect that Canada would be higher, and America as well. I don't know anyone without a phone with a data plan, or a computer. |

"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_number_of_Internet_users"
If you're going by internet users rather than percent of population then you can't really say China has greater internet access than, say, Iceland. If you go off of the former then you could have Iceland with 100% of their population glued to their screens and China no where near yet Iceland have no way of outranking China short of virtually everyone in China suddenly losing internet access.
"Texar, that was not by percents, but by population."
I gathered that, thanks.
"Ever heard of internet cafe? It's quite popular in China."
Really? Interesting, but surely if we're to discuss and grade internet accessibility there should be some sort of standards as well. If everyone in Country X has at least a second worth of access to the internet, are they doing better than if 50% of the population of Country Y has at least an hour worth of internet access? Stable, maintainable, affordable accessibility should see prioritization, you'd probably not really be able to say you have that if the only time you can get online is at a local cafe or other establishment (such as McDonalds which, in the US at least, has free WiFi these days).
"You can't take everything you read on wikipedia as truth..."
Not if its sources are questionable or lacking, of course, but otherwise it's a perfectly fine source. I'm really not sure whether that can be said for this article or not, it's really just a list so it wouldn't need a ton of sources but... |

| Typically if, say, the UN publishes data on the usage of rubber ducks in each country citing that as a source for such a list would be fine, you wouldn't then need to have fifty other organizations compile the same data... |
