Internet Usage in Ukraine

Today I received an email from one of the Yahoo! groups in which I am a member. It came from someone who lives in the Ukraine. I’ve not seen it reported in the mainstream media but in less than half a year Internet usage has grown by 60% in that country. Any idea what’s driving it? You guessed it, politics, in particular the Orange Revolution.

Much like our own country experienced a jump in the number of bloggers during our elections, the Ukraine has been experiencing a growth of almost 15% a month due to the people’s mistrust of the country’s regime controlled media sources. It’s a small world after all.
