The average connection speed will be an interesting number to track in the coming quarters and will give us a clear indication of the growing broadband adoption in the country."
Attack Traffic
During the fourth quarter of 2008, Akamai observed attack traffic originating from 193 unique countries around the world, up nearly 8% from the third quarter count of 179 countries. In the fourth quarter, the United States moved into first place for the first time in 2008, after placing second to either China or Japan throughout the year. Throughout 2008, the United States, China, Taiwan, South Korea, and Japan were consistently among the top 10 countries that generated the highest percentages of attack traffic.
Broadband Connectivity
Through its globally-deployed server network, and by virtue of the billions of requests for Web content that it services on a daily basis, Akamai has a unique level of visibility into the connection speeds of those systems issuing the requests, and as such, of broadband adoption around the globe. In the fourth quarter of 2008, the State of the Internet report began tracking average connection speeds for countries around the world.
Current highlights and historical trends for average connection speeds on a global basis can be found in Akamai's new data visualization tool, available at http://www.akamai.com/dv5. This "Global Broadband Adoption" tool has been added to Akamai's suite of data visualization tools, available at http://www.akamai.com/html/technology/visualizing_akamai.html, which include views into global attack traffic, network latency and packet loss, and traffic on the Akamai network, as well as Akamai's popular Net Usage Indices for Retail, News and Music.
In the fourth quarter of 2008, only six countries connected to Akamai's network at average speeds in excess of 5 Mbps, and for the year, many countries showed significant increases in their levels of high broadband (>5 Mbps) adoption.
Fastest International Countries
At the end of 2008, approximately 19% of Internet connections around the world were at speeds greater than 5 Mbps, representing a 21% increase over the average global connection speed at the end of 2007. In line with their average connection speed of 15 Mbps, and their appearance at the top of the list for the prior three quarters, South Korea once again ranked as the country with the highest percentage of connections at high broadband (>5 Mbps) speeds. Looking at the levels of high broadband penetration in the fourth quarter, South Korea, Sweden, the Netherlands, Denmark, and Norway had more high broadband IP's per capita than in the prior quarter. This is consistent with what would be expected from the initiatives to bring higher-speed connectivity, including Fiber-to-the-Home efforts, to consumers in these countries.

New Delhi, Delhi, India, Monday, March 30, 2009 -- (Business Wire India) -- In its unrelenting effort to start new shows focused on public interest, India TV is launching a new show 'MOTHER INDIA', to be anchored by Neelam Katara, from Monday (March 30) onwards.
'MOTHER INDIA' will be telecast seven days a week at 5.15 pm and 8.15 pm.
Audiences may remember Neelam Katara, the feisty mother of Nitish Katara, who was brutally murdered allegedly by the relatives of a political don. She fought her son's case and eventually got justice, with the court awarding life term imprisonment to the accused. Neelam, who had been fighting her own case so far, will now be fighting cases of women who have been oppressed and subjected to brutal injustice through India TV's new offering 'MOTHER INDIA'.
The objective behind this show is to bring to the focus of the public, the sufferings of those families, who are searching for justice and have failed to get so. India TV wants to shore up their courage and get them justice. For example, 'MOTHER INDIA' would focus on cases related to honour killings, dowry related harassment, security for senior citizens, ragging of students and domestic violence. India TV would seek to raise the voice of the oppressed and get answers from those in authority who are responsible for providing justice.
This show will also seek to reach the common voters in the present poll scenario. Security of women, terrorism, youth participation and criminalization of politics, are such issues which the show would take to the people. It will also ask candidates who have entered the poll fray, why people should chose them in the light of these burning issues.
"MOTHER INDIA' anchor Neelam Katara had been consistently fighting for justice for her slain son. She encountered threats, intimidation and roadblocks in her fight for justice. She was subjected to intense political pressures, but as a fighting mother, she did not bend. At times, it appeared that she had lost hope, but justice ultimately prevailed.
The torch of justice held aloft by Neelam Katara showed the path for the judiciary to provide justice in cases like Priyadarshini Mattoo and Jessica Lal murder cases.The common man's faith in judiciary has been restored to a large extent. Neelam proved that any body could gather courage to achieve justice, even in the fight against influential people. Neelam got support from each and every mother, and that was her mainstay in her struggle for justice.
In order to rekindle that courage, Neelam Katara will anchor the 'MOTHER INDIA' show. India TV represents 'Janata Ki Awaaz'. It is hoped that Neelam Katara would give voice to the cries of each and every oppressed woman, who awaits justice from the law.
Neelam believes, and India TV agrees, that justice will definitely prevail, howsoever tortuous the journey may be.
