INFOGRAPHIC: Is Big Brother Watching You, Europe?

I made the inforgraph below to highlight for those who may be unaware the growing prevalence of CCTV systems throughout Europe.  I was somewhat surprised Oslo was only short 1 percent from tying London as having the most, considering London's known onslaught of surveillance systems.  Though the data is somewhat out of date and certainly not concrete, it is interesting when we remember those numbers have probably increased a great deal and have become much more diverse in their sophistication and development.  I (and so should you) would be curious if those numbers slowed down with the economic downturn experienced throughout most of Europe.  My guess is not as much as one would assume, given that CCTV systems have gotten less expensive and much more easily installed since this report came out.  I have attached the report for your perusal.
