Edit: Offer withdrawn (see a few posts down).


Hello, I'm doing a statistics project that deals with the number of internet users over the years. Whoever finds the most complete statistics (meaning numbers from long ago and up to the present) will receive the substantial financial prize of $5 via PayPal. What I need are numbers for either of the following (with a link to the webpage):

1) Number of Internet Users World Wide (or in the USA) over the years (from present to as far back as you can find)
2) Number of Broadband Users World Wide (or in the USA) over the years (from present to as far back as you can find)

<disclaimer>These numbers should be from a trusted source. There is only one $5 prise, so finding stats on both doesn't mean you get $10 (I'm a poor highschool student!). I of course get the final right to decide which statistics are helpful to my project and which are not. If I find statistics before you then I will post so and the prize is cancelled.</disclaimer>

Thanks for any help!

I don't see how you can construe a degree out of that... The class is optional, I don't need it to graduate, and I pass whether or not I fail this, so it can't be a diploma, and I don't intend on majoring (or minoring) in statistics.

Ok, the offer is withdrawn as I've found some nice statistics on domain name's from '94 to '05. I know this wasn't one of the things I posted; I guess I should have just generalized "any internet usage stats". Kevin Moon, I got your PM; check your PMs.
