UKNM: Spanish users - weird source

[Lois Grayson]

Bizarre as this may sound - and I haven't been following this thread so I'm

not sure if this is relevant - I heard the following stats quoted on 'People

and Politics' on the BBC World Service at 4 am GMT Sunday morning:


Number of Spanish/Portuguese first language speakers estimated to be online

across the globe = 27 million

20m of these are classed as 'Latin American' - Chile, Mexico etc

Spanish is rated as the Net's 3rd or 4th language (behind

English/American/Chinese(?))


(Interviewee had an interesting opinion that the net isn't a global medium

because its use is linguistically defined and therefore restricted by

audience)


I don't know who the guy was or his sources and I fell asleep v shortly

afterwards; but woke today with the info in my head and a vague idea that

someone on UKNM wanted it - not sure about the programme title but the rest

is accurate -you could try checking the radio listings and then following up

with the Beeb's info line (the service is q helpful) for corroboration.

Sorry, blathering, tired.
