This means our internet penetration is only 25% of the total population of the countries shown! The internet will thus quadruple in size, and this discounts any population growth. The implications for domain values as well as the collective world intelligence are enormous.

Size of untapped market by country:
USA – 75m
BRA – 140m
UK – 16m
FRA – 20m
GER – 27m
RUS – 102m
IN – 1157m
CHI – 1354m
JAP – 31m
KOR – 12m
AUS – 4m

Which is roughly 3 Billion future internet users, compared to the 1 Billion current users, just in those countries.
