Internet user base growth slowing down
As per incoming statistics, the global internet adoption rate has slowed down in the recent months. Japan is currently the country with highest percentage of its population connected to the internet and China has the internet users who spend the most time online.
A study has been released by The Face of the Web who got this study conducted by market researcher Ipso Insight. As per this report, the global online population grew by a modest five per cent from 2004 to 2005.
This is much lower than the growth of 20% survey registered a year before. The research group surveyed users from countries including Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Japan, Mexico, Russia, South Korea, the UK, and the US.
France is one country, which is beating the world’s average with the most significant year-over-year gains in internet adoption among the markets tracked. France and UK are the main countries where mobile internet adoption seems to be the next big thing.
VoIP is catching up fast in France, UK, and Germany. America is one country, which has nearly reached the saturation point in terms of number of users connecting to the internet.

What is the present status in India? I beleive that there is tremendous growth in the subscriber base from the 4 million odd in Dec.03.
Is there a critical mass of subscriber which will usher in E commerce in India?
I read a news item today which says that the total tickets purchased from Railways web portal is doubling every year.
