[WSIS CS-Plenary] data needed on ICT status in the world-urgent

[west]

Dear All,

Mrs. Ebadi, our CS opening speaker is preparing her speech, she requested me to prepare these information for her, that she might use it in her speech or use as a background information fro her analysis. Would you please help me in finding these data. I need hot data, like how many have ever seen a telephone or not seen a mobile in their life, how many in the world ever seen a PC or use internet. These sort of data is needed. If you also have other interesting data, please share.

The items that I need information on now are:

1- the budget for military expenditure of some developing countries and 
their budget on ICT and other development infrastructure/education.
2-some statistics regarding world situation on communication, the important 
ones, such as how many have access or no access to telephone, internet, PCs, 
etc

I have gained some of these info on ITU website, but its not complete. Looking for your advise and support.


Regards

Amir
