The data was very useful in getting population estimate data of countries which is difficult to get. I used to get this dataset free of cost by signing an agreement paper till last year. However, this year it seems policy had changed and we have purchase it through East View Company. Another possible global population dataset free of cost is from CIESIN called GPW and GRUMP. You can download them from this site http://sedac.ciesin.columbia.edu/gpw/ Thanks, -Wangyal Tsering Wangyal Shawa Geographic Information Systems and Map Librarian Head, Digital Map and Geospatial Information Center Peter B.
