Öykü Altuntaş / London, Oct 2 () – The 92 percent of the world population reside in areas where cellular connection service of 2G or better speed is accessible. However, four billion people among the earth’s population remain offline, according to recent report.

According to Alex Koyfman’s report published on the Wealth Daily investment and investor portal, although a vast majority of the world population have wireless Internet flowing around them, about two-thirds of this number pursue their lives without internet.

The slogan of “online all the time, everywhere” seems like a ruling life trend due to the ubiquity of PCs, tablets, and smartphones surrounding our world. However this might be an illusion, according the map prepared by the Oxford Internet Institue based on World Bank data.

Internet users a minority in many countries

The “Internet Population and Penetration” map illustrates that several nations have populations where Internet users are a minority, as 4 billion of the world population, thought to exceed 7 billion, have either never been online or have no regular access to the Internet.

For instance, the 80 percent of the population in Canada, the U.K., Germany, Norway, Sweden, South Korea, and Qatar are connected to the internet.

This is followed by countries such as U.S., France, Poland, Japan, Spain, Singapore, Australia, Taiwan where the internet penetration rates are between 40 and 60 percent.

Online population between 40-60 percent in Turkey

The rate of internet penetration in Turkey, on the other hand, remains between 40 and 60 percent. Other countries in this range are listed as Italy, Greece, Russia, and the majority of South American and Balkan states with many others.

As the online population rate falls between 20 and 40 percent, the map points to countries such as China, Egypt, Thailand, Vietnam, Mexico, Peru, Ecuador, along with Kenya and Nigeria.

The report also underlines that some of the countries where only 20 percent of the population are connected to internet are India, Nepal, Iraq, Belgrade, Indonesia, Sri Lanka and Middle African countries.
