bgp geopolitical analysis (warning: zero operational content. or so.)
one of caida's elves (brad) did a cool visualization of demographic measures of Internet resources, stratified by continent with substratification by country (with help of CIA factbook, RouteViews, and NetGeo). http://www.caida.org/analysis/geopolitical/bgp2country/ measures: geographic area, human population, GDP, phones-in-use, ASes, ISPs, prefixes, addresses.... nothing overwhelmingly surprising here but compelling nonetheless (yes, it turns out data can be both) k // things are not what they seem to be, nor are they otherwise. -lankavatara sutra //

(1) there are more users in .za than you might expect (2) many of its prefixes are small, so it doesn't reflect number of attached hosts 2) 4th place is "??". Can you eloborate on that line? that means ASes for which we couldn't comfortably map to a country. (k's rule: `the second or third biggest category of anything on the Internet is `unknown'') k
