Subject: TeleGeography Global Internet Geography Report

Dear TeleGeography subscriber,

The evolution of the global Internet took a new turn this
year.  Since the invention of the web browser, international
IP bandwidth deployments have more than doubled each year.
In 2002, however, the rate of growth slowed to just 40
percent.  On some major routes aggregate capacity even
shrank.

Of course, the story isn't simple -- growth rates varied
greatly by region and route.  Some countries became more
dependent on the U.S. as a central switching hub, and others
developed better connectivity to their neighbors.

TeleGeography's updated 300-page guide to route-by-route
Internet capacity, _Global Internet Geography 2003_, maps
out where the bandwidth is and who controls it.  The new
report features our latest bandwidth data plus in-depth
analysis to provide:

- Exclusive metrics on city-to-city, cross-border Internet
    capacity
- Route-by-route Internet bandwidth for over 50 countries
- Profiles and network maps of the world's 35 largest
    Internet backbone providers
- Expert commentary on Internet diffusion and the factors
    affecting competition

The print edition will be available in early October, and
the electronic edition will be available in November 2002.
