The Access statistics of 2014 are on-line earlier that expected , thanks to Google ... Several trends emerge with the most obvious the globalization of accesses in comparison to the numbers we had 4 years ago. The number of countries requesting information has also increased to 131 ... some have very few accesses to the Portal material ... but it is important to see that we move to an global INTERNET community.
Some details which should be mentioned:
1. The "Americas" are monopolized mainly by accesses from the US and Canada (73.78%)
2. South America is monopolized by accesses from Brasil (68.77%).
3. Asia is strongly monopolized by accesses from India (81.11%) and Iran (12.21%)
