Europe overtakes North America online

There are now more internet users in Europe (185.8 million) than in North America (182.3 million), according to a study by Nua.com. This is most likely because North America has reached saturation point earlier than elsewhere. Asia/Pacific clocks in at 167.9 million. The total figure approximates to 580 millon, compared with 407 million in December 2000. Most people online per capita: 1, Iceland (69.8%); 2, Sweden (64.68%); 3, Denmark (60.38%); 4, Hong Kong (59.58%); 5, USA (59.1%); 6, Netherlands (58.07%); 7, UK (56.88%); 8, Norway (54.4%); 9, Australia (54.38%); 10, Canada (53.79%).
