Abstract

Initially internet was mainly offered in the Government activities and mainly in the defense and space stations but gradually internet become a tool of common man and involved in most of the activities and sectors. Internet may be accessed in various way and methods; importantly internet services are also changing due to its features and emerging speed. The data transfer rate is differs from the technology to technology and importantly country to country. This paper is talks about the data transfer and its changing pattern and emphasizing speed divide among the countries. Paper highlights all these aspects in brief manner with theoretical context.
