Jupiter Research found that by 2012, one quarter of the world's population will access the Internet regularly. The increase in emerging global markets will grow at double-digit rates, boosting the growth of the global online population.
ComScore recently reported that the global Internet population has reached the 1 billion mark! And according to ComScore's Magid Abraham, the next billion is right around the corner: "Surpassing one billion global users is a significant landmark in the history of the Internet ... a monument to the increasingly global community in which we live. The second billion will be online before we know it, and the third billion will arrive even faster than that."
