25 Countries with the greatest number of sub-networks connected to the Internet

The Internet is a network of networks- -in other words, it is not one huge collection of computers; it is a collection of collections of them. Each "sub-network" may encompass thousands of computers (for instance, at a corporation) or just a couple (for instance, in your basement). This list shows the top 25 countries with the most networks that are part of the Internet. It's very difficult to guesstimate how many use each subnetwork, because each one might be used by a few thousand individuals or as few as just one.
