The Palestinian Ministry of Communication released some statistics that show that Palestinians are among the better connected people of the world.
Some 4.2 million have mobile phones–that’s equivalent to 85% of the total population. The survey, though, said that some 75% of all above the age of 10 have their own mobile phone, while some 87% of all above 10 use a mobile phone, presumably the family phone.
About 80% of Palestinian families have internet access at home.86% of those aged 10 and above use social networks, the number reaching 90% in the West Bank.
These are not exactly third-world numbers, here.
