According to a survey by comScore Networks (USA), approximately 694 million people aged 15 and older worldwide are connected to the Internet. This research firm describes it as “the first accurate report on the scale and behavior of the global online community.”
“Currently, Internet users in the United States account for less than a quarter of the total number of Internet users worldwide. A decade ago, this figure was two-thirds,” stated Peter Daboll, CEO of comScore Media Metrix.
Despite this, the United States remains the leading country with 152 million online users, followed by China (72 million) and Japan (52 million). Germany ranks next with 32 million Internet users, followed by the UK (30 million), South Korea (24.6 million), France (23.9 million), Canada (19 million), Italy (16.8 million), and India (16.7 million).
