There are several companies who attempt to measure the Internet's usage: ClickZ, Cyberatlas.internet.com, Statmarket.com, Nielsen Ratings, Office of the CIA, Mediametrix.com, comScore.com, eMarketer.com, Serverwatch.com, Securityspace.com, and the Computer Industry Almanac. These groups use custom techniques of polling, electronic tallying of server traffic, web server logging, focus group sampling, and other measurement means.
Note the implications re: access, economics, languages which dominate internet use, etc.
