We always enjoy a browse through the Computer Industry Almanac's annual world rankings of 224 countries in terms of Internet users, penetration and ISPs. 26 of those countries are in Asia.
No surpise that China ranks #1 in terms of users (99.8 million this report says). Bhutan is bottom of the list with none. The top 10 looks like this:

1 China 99.80
2 Japan 78.05

When measured by penetration, of course, the picture changes dramatically with Hong Kong taking the top spot and China sinking to 12th:

In terms of ISPs, Australia rules the roost with 571, a massive 8 times larger than nearest rival, Japan which has 73. India looks strong in third place with 43 while China has to make do with just 3 ISPs to serve all those users.
