Overview

Internet penetration in India is rather low as only 49mln out of more than 1 billion people use the Internet at least once a month (40mln urban and 9mln rural). A popular place to get connected is the workplace where 68% of all connections occur. On average, Internet-users get access through 1.9 different places and although most people connect at the workplace, 21% of the users prefer to access the Web from home. Penetration is also less, because 1 out of 3 computers is not connected and most new connections are actually just replacing old connections. Connecting to the Web via mobile phones is not very widely used yet, as only 4mln people access through this mode. Another barrier in the penetration is that only 28% of the current users prefer to read in English.
