Target 4: Getting people online
By 2015, Internet user penetration should reach 60% worldwide, 50% in developing countries and 15% in LDCs.
> At the end of 2010, just over two billion people were using the Internet – or 30% of the global population.
> Internet penetration in 2010 stood at 21% in the developing world and at just under 5% in the world’s least developed countries (LDCs).
> The Broadband Commission has set targets for Internet use (as opposed to access) by 2015 that are higher than ITU would forecast for 2015.
> Internet use can be via fixed or mobile networks, and covers use of the Internet at home, at work, in school, at friends’ houses, in Internet cafés, in public places – in other words Internet use anywhere.
