According to new figures released by United Nation the world will have nearly three billion internet users and seven billion mobile-cellular subscriptions by the end of 2014. Two-third of this internet population will be from the developing countries and the 3.6 billion of the mobile-cellular subscriptions will be in the Asia-Pacific region.

The report by the UN’s International Telecommunications Union (ITU) said 44% of the world’s households will have internet access by end of 2014. As per the estimations almost 31% households in developing countries will be connected to the internet, compared with 78 per cent in developed countries.

The report also revealed that household internet access is approaching saturation levels in developed countries.
“The newly released ICT (information and communications technology) figures confirm once again that information and communication technologies continue to be the key drivers of the information society,” ITU Secretary-General Hamadoun Toure said.

Brahima Sanou, the director of ITU’s Telecommunication Development Bureau, said the new figures are a watershed moment in the world’s growing affinity for ICT.

“Behind these numbers and statistics are real human stories. The stories of people whose lives have improved thanks to ICTs,” Sanou said, adding “our mission is to bring ICTs into the hands of ordinary people, wherever they live. By measuring the information society, we can track progress, or identify gaps, towards achieving socio-economic development for all”.

The ITU report said Internet users are expected to hit three billion by the end of 2014, which accounts for about 40 per cent of the world’s population.

Among those users, over three quarters are from developed countries while two-thirds come from the developing world.
