Gerald, Re: "I think your WAG (<150 Million) is low. Did some research on the statistics, (many good sources on the web), and found some startling numbers. Appears my estimate is way too high. Total W/W internet usage. 157 Million Here's a site that breaks out global access. "Here are the latest estimated figures of the number of each language population on the Internet (native speakers): those who have access to the Internet on a worldwide scale (that is, who have email access) or to the Web. We classify by languages instead of by countries, since people speaking the same language form their own online community no matter what country they happen to live in. All figures are in millions." euromktg.com Headcount of US users by Ziff-Davis "The US In December 1998, Ziff-Davis's Technology User Profile reported that there are 60 million PCs connected to the Internet in The US. The number of PCs connected to the Internet soared 35 percent between January and August, from 45 million to just over 60 million, according to Ziff-Davis's Technology User Profile 1998 Mid-Year Study. That means more than half of all PCs in use in the U.S. are now Web-enabled. PCs in the workplace led the charge with a 52 percent increase in the number of Net-connected systems, from 16 million to 24 million. But home PCs still represent the lion's share of the market, with 28 million consumer PCs hooked up to the Internet, Ziff-Davis said." headcount.com Intelliquest numbers are higher than Z-D's estimates, 73 million. headcount.com There are many more sources, (including Forester Research), that provide data. I was very surprised by the results.
