Conducted by Broadband Commission for Digital Development the study showed that the rate of Internet penetration in recent years has decreased and will be in 2015 and 8.1% vs. 8.6% in 2014. It is noted that prior to 2012 the growth rate was denoted by double digits.

the report reveals that 57% of the population of the Earth is over 4 billion — do not use the Internet actively or regularly. According to Reuters, in advanced economies, Internet penetration exceeds 90%, and 48% of countries do not have access to the Internet at all. According to experts, the problem lies in the high cost of infrastructure in remote regions and the decrease in the growth rate of mobile subscribers.

According to projections, by the end of this year there will be over 3.2 billion "more or less" regular Internet users (2.9 billion in 2014). The UN plans to increase this figure to 60% by 2020. The authors of the report indicate that online resources is represented only 5% of the world's languages (from 7100 available). In addition, many can't read Latin, which complicates the perception of Internet addresses.
