Not only does the Republic of Korea top the US, so does Sweden, Iceland, Denmark, Finland, Norway, UK, and Australia - put another shrimp on the barbie mate!
This comes from the International Telecommunication Union’s (ITU) 2013 Edition of Measuring the Information Society.
Highlights of the study include:
• Republic of Korea tops ICT ranking for 3rd year in a row
• 250 million additional people came online in 2012
• By end of 2013 40% of the world (2.7 billion people) will be online
• By end of 2013 there will be 6.8 billion total mobile-cellular subscriptions
• 1.1 billion households – or 4.4 billion people – remain unconnected
• Mobile broadband is now more affordable than fixed broadband
• Almost the whole world is now within reach of mobile cellular service
• Almost 50 per cent of all people worldwide are now covered by a 3G network
• 30% of the world’s young population are ‘digital natives’
• Broadband is getting faster - 2Mbps now most popular basic package
The good news for app developers is that there is a vast developing market for their apps. And it will only get better as the remaining 4.4 billion unconnected people gradually become connected.
