India

Nation will have 402m Internet users

India will have 402 million Internet users by the end of this year, surpassing the United States, a report has claimed. "While Internet in India took more than a decade to move from 10 million to 100 million and 3 years from 100 million to 200 million, it took only a year to move from 300 million to 400 million users. Clearly, Internet is mainstream in India today," the report said. India has seen an apparent Internet revolution in the past couple of years, and most people access the net through their cellphones.
