Internet availability in Iran

Internet availability in Iran

It was an interesting process to dig up the data supporting this post! every resource would claim different set of numbers! it was controversial and doubtful that how each organisation came up with its report! the main problem seems to be the unclear data collection methods and difficulty to access some sources.
unfortunately the data I found is from four years ago, but it can give some rough overall idea to the reader.
in 2010 access to internet in urban areas were ~19% and in rural areas down to 4%.
out of 20.3 million families,4.3(21.4%) million had internet access from their own homes, which 94% of them were living in cities.
35.2% of all households in Iran had computers at home. which is 91.5% of urban households and 12% of rural.
comparing to the studies from 2008, within two years, the amount of home internet access and families with computer increased respectively 3.2 and 5 percent.
58.1% of internet users where men and 41.9% women. which are 16.6% of male population and 12.7% of females.
from older than 6years internet users , 59.8% had university degree of some kind.
