China Vs India Internet user statistics

May 4, 2010 by BG Mahesh 1 Comment

Read recently about China’s internet user base,

  • China has 400 million internet users, accounts for 1/3rd of China’s population
  • Number of broadband users in China: 346 million
  • Mobile internet users: 233 million

Where as for India

  • India has anywhere from 45 million to 50 million users, accounts for about 5% of our population (so we have a lot of room for growth, good news in my opinion)
  • Number of broadband users: 8 million
  • Of the 500+ million mobile users, 25 million users have paid for their data account, 55-65 million users use the free data services provided by the operator.
  • Mobile internet users: 2 million active users (access the net at least once a month from their mobile)
