(compiled/wendy) the United Nations International Telecommunication Union (ITU) predicted last autumn that the number of Internet users worldwide would reach 2 billion by the end of 2010, and the full report released by the alliance confirmed the forecast, with a figure of 2.08 billion.  The ITU Secretary-General, Hammad Toure, points out that the figure is a leap from a decade ago, with only 250 million Internet users around 10 years ago, and now the equivalent of One-third of the world's population is connected to the Internet, 555 million of which are fixed-broadband subscriptions and 950 million mobile broadband. It is worth mentioning that the number of mobile phone users around the world has exceeded the 5 billion mark, and at the beginning of 2000, the number of mobile phone users is only 500 million. Although the agency pointed out that 5 billion of the number of paid users, not the number of individual users, because it contains a person with multiple mobile phone number. But in any case, the growth rate of the first 10 years since 21st century is indeed unprecedented.
