Tajikistan Internet
(These are excerpts from a forthcoming research paper, but given the events in Tajikistan I thought I’d post the descriptives.)
Tajikistan internet use, as of mid-2011:
| Aware of Internet |
44% |
| Of total, Adopted Internet |
24% |
| Of total, Use Internet Never |
90% |
|
Less than monthly |
2% |
|
Monthly |
3% |
|
Daily |

So what do those daily users do online?

That’s a lot of blogging/commenting! Now, granted, that’s like 2% of the total population… but still impressive.

Granted, this was over a year ago, but even then, only half of DAILY Internet users knowing what YouTube is is sort of surprising. However, Odnoklassniki and vKontake are quite popular.
