Global Internet Market Tops 3.2 Billion Users/Ultrafast Broadband Expands, both Fixed and Wireless, Business and Industry Trends Analysis

The vast majority of mobile telephones in developed economies are smartphones.  Big improvements in the devices, such as the latest iPhones and Android-based units, along with enhanced high-speed access via 4G networks, are fueling this growth.  More recently, major wireless carriers are offering advanced 5G services with higher potential speeds.  Most major e-commerce, news and entertainment sites have carefully designed their web pages to perform reasonably well on the “third screen,” that is, on smartphones (with TV being the first screen and desktop or laptop computers being the second screen).  Globally, the number of broadband internet access subscriptions was estimated at 1.6 billion fixed lines and 7.7 billion wireless lines, per the International Telecommunications Union (ITU).
Internet access speeds continue to increase dramatically.  Google launched its “Google Fiber” ultra-high-speed internet service in Kansas City, Kansas in 2012, and soon expanded into other cities.
