The Hindu: Here are some numbers on India’s internet population (it’s different from Indian Internet And Mobile Association‘s figures since it takes the entire internet population – which is 38 million)).
According to US-based technology research firm comScore Networks, the total online population in India – measured in terms of people aged over 15 years accessing the internet – rose 7.8 per cent to 18.02 million in June, from 16.71 million three months ago in March.
Indi’as growth is higher than the world online population growth of 2.7 per cent. There are 713 million people above 15 online in June, up from 694 million in March this year.
India has also become the ninth biggest country in terms of the total online population, up from its 10th position three months ago. The US has retained its top slot with 153 million of web users.
The figures exclude the traffic from public computers such as cyber cafes and access from mobile phones or PDAs. The total number of people accessing internet could be much higher if those aged below 15 years and the public computer data and new-age mediums such as mobiles and PDAs are also taken into consideration.
