We wrote a while ago on the massive amount of Internet users in Brazil; New Scientist just published an updated report, Brazil now 67.500.000n Internet users, that is more than Germany, the UK or India.
The most surprising number is however the growth pace of Internet users in Brazil.
In Germany there were 47.200.000 internet users in 2004, today Germany has 52.500.000 Internet users; that is a modest growth of 11,2% in 5 years.
Brazil counted 19.300.000 Internet users in 2004, today Germany 67.500.000 Internet users; that is a growth of 249,7% and this is an accelarating growth; only in the last 2,5 years the amount of Brazilian Internet users grew 160,6%. And saturation is far from being reached, even today only 26% of Brazil’s population is connected and with the growing middle class the amount of Internet users will continue to grow exponentially. In less then 18 months from here Brazil will have more than 50% of the amount of Internet users that the United States has.
