I'm trying to get some info re the state of the internet in around 1995. For example What proportion of US homes / businesses etc had access then, or even broader like how many connections there were in the USA. Also figures for things like what percentage of web material at that stage was provided by US. Also, any such figures for Australia would be useful. If anyone knows the figures, or could point me in the right direction I'd be most grateful.
You might want to take a look at some of the early GVU User Surveys that were done at Georgia Tech beginning in 1994. They're fairly casual in their methodology (I think respondents simply volunteered to participate), but you might find the data interesting nonetheless.
