good point. and this is specially true when talking not _only_ about
infrastructure, but the other two main basis of digital divide bridging:
- training and/or capacitation
- availability of content and services

I guess the report only focuses infrastructure, and then it is not that false
that the World has more cellulars and more computers. 

But who <em>can</em> use them to improve their lives? 
And who has digital content and e-services they can benefit from?
