FURNTR: HI8VB.TK According to recent statistics from the ITU published today in The World in 2010: ICT facts and figures (World in 2010: facts and figures of ICT), the number of Internet users around the world doubled in the last five years and will exceed two billion in 2010.
The number of people who have Internet access at home has also increased from 1 400 million in 2009 to almost 1 600 million in 2010. The new data were revealed on the eve of World Statistics, to be held on October 20, 2010 in the world.
hundred sixty-two of the 226 million of new Internet users in 2010 will be living in developing countries, where the number of Internet users is growing at a faster rate. By late 2010, 71% of the population of developed countries will be online, compared with 21% of the population for developing countries. While 65% of the population in developed countries have Internet access at home, this proportion was only 13.5% in developing countries, since Internet access is more common in schools, workplaces work and public locations.
Regional differences are considerable: 65% European Internet browsing, but only makes 9.6% of Africans. Due to the rapid increase in Internet content and applications with high bandwidth, is becoming increasingly important demand for broadband connections at higher speeds.
