Sorry, I do not have a good answer to your questions.  There was a 
report which looked into the impact of the Web ( 
http://thewebindex.org/2012/10/2012-Web-Index-Key-Findings.pdf 
).  The questions (see above) are about infrastructure.  There is 
very little open data from emerging regions.  As a starting point 
people from emerging regions could collect data as part of a research 
project.  I leave it to Arturo to comment about how to get funding if 
this is part of a regional project.
