Open and Sustainable Internet This report focuses on the open and sustainable Internet – what we mean by that, what benefits it brings, and how to overcome threats that prevent those of us already online from enjoying the full benefits, and what keeps non-users from going online in the first place. Given the rapid pace of change, it is important to solidify and spread the benefits of the open Internet, rather than taking them for granted. Report Highlights - Internet trends and growth - Benefits of an open and sustainable Internet - Challenges to the open and sustainble Internet - Recommendations to improve the Internet experience and increase access Executive Summaries The following executive summaries are now available for download: - English <http://www.internetsociety.org/doc/global-internet-report-2014-executive-summary> - Français <http://www.internetsociety.org/node/260127> - Español <http://www.internetsociety.org/node/260241> Global Internet Report Map The Global Internet Report Map <http://www.internetsociety.org/map/global-internet-report/> allows you to explore some of the key data from the report in a very interactive way. Find out how specific countries rank when it comes to the following criteria: - Global Internet penetration - Resilience score - Mobile Broadband penetration - Affordability - Download speed for fixed Internet access - YouTube Ping - Facebook Ping - Limits on content We will continue to update the map on a regular basis as we want to provide the most accurate data possible.
