Depending on who’s statistics you want to believe, there are either 1,000,000,000 or nearly 1,500,000,000 Internet users. That is a lot of people, but not even a quarter of the world’s population. A few numbers stand out.
- China leads the way in terms of total numbers with 179.7 million, followed by the United States with 163.3 million.
- Canada has around 80% of its citizens connected.
- India had only around 3% of its citizens connected.
As underrepresented counties continue to develop their network infrastructure, we can all look forward to a different Internet in the future.
