Opera's monthly 'State of the Mobile Web' might be indicative of the level of mobile internet usage in Kenya -> http://www.opera.com/smw/2010/08/ (August Report). Moses Kemibaro did a blog post on this a little while ago.

Hope that's a start :)


Am I the only one appalled at the data gathered by the browser maker?

On my PC, Neither FFox or Chrome "phone home" the amount of data used, what pages I visit, etc.

I wonder how many Opera Mini users actually read this:

http://www.opera.com/privacy/

"Privacy in the Opera Mini browser

Opera Mini will keep a record of the user’s phone make and model for use with maintaining the history, cache, and cookies. The user’s phone number is not stored except where required by the operator. Make and model data may be used for the purposes of debugging, maintenance, optimization of the service, or maintaining the customer relationship. The history, cache, and cookie information can be removed using Tools > Settings > Privacy from the menu in Opera Mini.
