The role of the internet in Egypt's revolution has definitely been overstated. If you look at the available data on the degree of internet penetration in the country as well as the number of mobile cellular subscriptions per 100 people, the percentage of population under age 15 and the degree of urbanization, some intriguing facts jump out. Internet access in Egypt is barely 20%, much less than Tunisia or Iran, according to InternetWorldStats.com. Mobile phone usage is much higher, at about 40%. And that number has skyrocketed in recent years, from barely 6% in 2003, according to http://www.mobileactive.org/, a nonprofit that tracks mobile usage worldwide.

Anantha, I just watched the video link you gave. It was good. By the way, things have started hottening up and protests are spreading -- near and far.Yesterday, it was Yemen and Iran. Today it is Bahrain.Tomorrow it may be Syria and Libya. Jordan and Algeria have already witnessed mass protests against inefficient rulers.
