India ranked 7th in internet usage.


The world Internet users have crossed 1 billion mark this December.
This is a comScore result.
In any case, only between 15 and 22 percent of the world’s population is on the Internet. We have a long way to go.

Top 15 countries, by Internet population:

  1. China: 179.7 million
  2. United States: 163.3 million
  3. Japan: 60.0 million
  4. Germany: 37.0 million
  5. United Kingdom: 36.7 million
  6. France: 34.0 million
  7. India: 32.1 million
  8. Russia: 29.0 million
  9. Brazil: 27.7 million
  10. South Korea: 27.3 million
  11. Canada: 21.8 million
  12. Italy: 20.8 million
  13. Spain: 17.9 million
  14. Mexico: 12.5 million
  15. Netherlands: 11.8 million
So Imagine India in the first position then ?
Why always China Can and India can't.
One reason why India is seventh in the list is because of low educational qualification.
Another can be no computer literacy or also no availability of Internet in remote areas of India.
