2009 is supposed to be both an exciting and challenging year. According to ComScore, the number of people using the internet surpassed one Billion in December.

In the United States, which is our main market, 163,3 million people are currently using the internet. So we’re talking about unique, not devices. In the Netherlands 11,8 million users are currently browsing the web, which comes down to just a bit over 73%.

If I do the numbers on the U.S. 163,3 million users comes down to just 71 percent. I would have expected that number to be higher.

The Asian Pacific is responsible for 41,3% of the worldwide internet audience.. a tremendous market – obviously. But also a though market due to the censorship and all.

I’d love to talk to some folks and businesses who have proven success in the asian markets. If that’s you; please contact me.
