Opte Project
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Opte Project is a project started by Barrett Lyon that seeks to make an accurate representation of the extent of the Internet using visual graphics. The Project was started in October 2003 in an effort to provide a useful Internet map with open source code. Lyon believes that the mapping can help detect and assess sites of disasters in the world, citing the significant destruction of Internet capabilities after a disaster. It also provides an important gauge for the growth of the Internet and the areas of growth.
The project is hosted by BitGravity.
