United Nations Internet governance conference in Rio de Janeiro
Principal topic of discussion was the digital divide, since only about 1 billion, or 20% of the world's population have Net access," the Associated Press reports <http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5i97f7uYBNZeMce5rt3uSBMDT8LUgD8SSV6RG0.

Less than 4% ofAfricans have access, for example. But the AP cites figures from conference organizers showing that, in the past decade, Net use has risen from 5% to 35% in "the less-well-off nations that hold nearly three-fourths of the world's population."
