Via Opinio Juris, the Gapminder tool allows users to graphically track indicators of development on a world map.  It’s pretty neat, and in relation to our project, has tracking available for phone use (fixed line and mobile phone subscribers per 1,000 people) and Internet use (per 1,000 people).  By running the tool, you can see how much these two statistics have increased in the past 10 years in Latin America — looks like quite a bit. This is good news in the e-commerce world, which naturally enough depends on consumers being on the internet and being connected.
