Internet geography, also called cybergeography, is a subdiscipline of geography that studies the spatial organization of the Internet from social, economic, cultural, and technological perspectives.[1][2] The core assumption of Internet geography is that the location of servers, websites, data, services, and infrastructure is key to understand the development and the dynamics of the Internet. Among the topics covered by this discipline are information geography and digital divides.[3]
