Asia-Pacific Overtakes Americas in Number of Internet Users


itugraph.jpg An interesting fact from the ITU Policy Blog: Asia-Pacific has overtaken the Americas in terms of the number of regional Internet users. In 2001, the Americas had 38% of the world’s Internet users and Asia-Pacific had 32%. In 2004, this is almost reversed with Asia-Pacific having 37% and the Americas with 31%. (Click on the thumbnail for a chart depicting this trend). Europe has stayed at a relatively constant 29%, while Africa has made some minor gains, growing from 1% to 3% of the world’s Internet users.
