No one knows exactly how many people use the Internet because it is impossible to take a census of its users. But some people tried to count. According to the Internet World Stats that collects its data from Nielson/NetRatings and the International Telecommunications Union as of September 18, 2006 there are 1,086,250,903 people on the Internet world-wide and   229,138,706 people in the United States on the Internet. According to estimates, more than 10 million people currently use the Internet in some fashion. That number is expected to increase to 100 million by the end of the century.
The number of people with access to only Internet e-mail are undoubtedly higher, because that’s the most common form of Net access.
Anyway, the safest claim about the people using internet is that “roughly” or “about” 10% of the world’s people have Internet access.
