The ISOC Local Content Report is a peer-reviewed study on the relationship between local content, internet development, and access prices, resulting from a 2011 collaboration between ISOC, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development and UNESCO. Its initial findings were presented at the sixth annual IGF Conference, held in Nairobi, Kenya, on September 27-30, 2011.[1]

The study's main finding is that there is a strong correlation between the development of network infrastructure and the growth of local content, even after controlling for economic and demographic factors.[1]

Measures of local content included:[1]

  • Numbers of visible TLDs in use per country code, per capita;
  • Wikipedia articles and blogs per language, per capita;
  • Measures of internet development, such as broadband penetration rates, autonomous systems per capita, international bandwidth per capita and routed IPv4 addresses per capita.
