Farin Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 [smaller]by Erick Schonfeld on January 23, 2009 | TechCrunch | Link [/smaller] The number of people on the Internet surpassed one billion in December, according to comScore. The actual number is probably higher than that (Internet World Stats counted nearly 1.5 billion Web surfers worldwide as of June 30, 2008). In any case, only between 15 and 22 percent of the world’s population is on the Internet. We have a long way to go. Using the comScore numbers, here is the breakdown by country and region (in unique visitors as of December, 2008; some of the numbers are rounded): Top 15 countries, by Internet population: 1. China: 179.7 million 2. United States: 163.3 million 3. Japan: 60.0 million 4. Germany: 37.0 million 5. United Kingdom: 36.7 million 6. France: 34.0 million 7. India: 32.1 million 8.
