The Center for the Digital Future, part of USC’s Annenberg School, has released its World Internet Report, detailing the global impacts of Internet and online technologies, including its use in communication, media, social and political processes, information, commerce, and other facets of everyday life. Once of the findings? While some 88 percent of young Americans have access to the Internet, that figure is far behind Internet access for youngsters and teens in other countries. For instance, 95 percent of Canadian youth have Internet access; the Czech Republic and Macao come in at 96 percent, Israel at 98 percent. And the winner? Apparently 100 percent of young Britons have access to the Internet.

iPhone Goes to Macao
Hutchison Telecom has become the latest international mobile operator to ink a deal with Apple to distribute the company’s now-famous iPhone: according to the South China Morning Post, it will be offering the iPhone to the city of Macao as early as next quarter.
The company joins a parade of similar announcements from mobile operators around the world, all of which have been characterized by their brevity and complete lack of detail as to what iPhone would be offered (the current 2G model or the 3G model widely expected to be unveiled in early June), or what sorts of service plans and pricing would be available. Some mobile operators are landing non-exclusive deals, meaning they may be competing with other mobile providers in their markets who can also offer the iPhone.
