Region's online users prove hard to count
Article Abstract:
Gauging the number of Internet users in the Asian region is an endeavor that is still impossible because of the relative immaturity of the market compared to the US. Asia, whose Internet users are estimated from as few as 17 million to as high as 39 million, is projected to be one of the fastest-growing market for the industry. This huge market potential is fueling the need to accurately estimate the number of individuals who are connected to the Internet.
