Most internet users in MENA, by country
Which country has the most internet users in the Middle East and North Africa region?
17. Iraq - Internet users: 325,000
Despite having one of the largest populations in the region, Iraq has one of the lowest levels of internet penetration at 1.1 percent – so only one out of every 100 Iraqis accessed the internet in the last 30 days and the figure has scarcely grown since 2000. No prizes for guessing why. But given the millions being poured into the country’s infrastructure, expect Iraq to surge up this list over the next five years.

It will be interesting to compare the quality of internet services in these countries and the costs to customers. These should then be compared to similar services & cost in Asia, Europe & America (North & South).

It's a pity we can't see the information as a simple table (with columns for number of users and percentage of population). The slideshow presentation is nice, but not very practical on my netbook :)
