There are now more than 1 billion Internet users. According to market research firm Comscore, the global Internet audience passed this mark last December.
China has the largest population of Internet users with 180 million. The U.S. is second, with 163 million Internet users.
It is interesting to note that this excludes access from mobile phones, PDA's and Internet cafes. This understates the number of users in developing countries, so if anything the 1 billion number is conservative.
