China’s 253 million users surpass the United State’s 223 million
China’s now the largest market for the web. But the most significant part of The Channel Wire’s post is that China is just getting started. 81% of Chinese people still don’t use the internet, while most Americans are already on the grid.
73 million are mobile users. Music and IM are the most popular ways the Chinese use the web.
The internet’s new world
The world map of internet use is being rewritten. Sheer population size will drive the opportunity in the future as adoption rates resemble those of the electrical grid.
And while Chinese, Indian and Brazilian consumer storage consumption is not high today, video consumption and the low cost of terabytes means that storage growth will outpace even the internet.
Will these countries choose the Cloud or their homes to keep their content? The jury’s still out.
Where do you think they will keep their stuff?
