Half of the world's population will go online by 2019 Cisco predicts
Cisco’s latest Visual Networking Index (VNI) forecast has claimed that about half of the world’s population (3.9 billion people) will use Internet by 2019.
This is despite the number of networked devices growing exponentially over the period to the point where there is an average of three connected devices for every person on Earth.
And this increase in devices will also lead to a huge surge in data, with global IP traffic expected to reach 168 Exabytes per month by 2019 – the year when Cisco forecasts nearly as much traffic will traverse global IP networks than all prior “Internet years” (from 1984 to the end of 2013) combined.
