South Korea, where nearly all citizens enjoy high-speed net access, had the greatest majority of people -- 96 percent -- who believed access was a fundamental right.

The US Treasury Department on Monday eased sanctions on Iran, Cuba and Sudan to allow exports by US companies of services related to Web browsing, blogging, email, instant messaging, chat, social networking and photo- and movie-sharing.

"We're supporting the right of free expression," US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Monday

The decision to allow exports of Web tools to Iran was intended to allow Iranians to "communicate without being blocked by their own government", she explained.
