Figures are estimates projected from the latest official statistics (ITU, UN, UN Tourism) and are for general reference only.
It is a live estimate of the total number of people who use the internet, anywhere in the world. The baseline comes from the ITU, the United Nations agency for digital data, and the counter rises as hundreds of millions of new users come online every year.
