NON STATISTICAL MAP

This map reflects the unequal distribution of phone lines around the world. The data is from 1992 and it uses different colors to represent the number of main lines per 100 inhabitants. I imagine the numbers are higher today but the variation between countries would probably be close to the same. This map is part of a minority telecommunications development program dedicated to developing programs and policies that increase minority ownership of broadcast and telecommunications businesses. The map is more clear when you click on it.

Note: I originally had this posted as a statisitcal map but upon further study, I realized, by slide definition, this one is not the type.
