Internet users refer to individuals who have access to the Internet and have used it within a specific time period, typically measured over the past three months. This metric encompasses people who connect to the Internet through various devices, including computers, mobile phones, tablets, game consoles, and smart TVs, regardless of the type of connection or frequency of use. The measurement of internet users typically includes both individuals with personal access and those who access the Internet through shared facilities like schools, libraries, internet cafes, or community centres. Internet user statistics serve as a critical indicator of digital adoption and technological progress across countries and regions, reflecting the extent to which populations are participating in the digital economy and information society. These figures are closely monitored by governments, businesses, and international organisations as they provide insights into digital divides, potential markets for online services, and the evolution of global connectivity. The data is usually collected through national surveys, telecommunications authority reports, and estimates from international organisations such as the International Telecommunication Union (ITU).
