India to Overtake US Internet Usage

India to Overtake US to Become Second Largest Population of Web Users

India will overtake the United States to become the second largest population of Web users, reports the Wall Street Journal.
The figures, released by an Indian trade group suggest there will be 402 million internet users in India by December of this year. That’s nearly 150 million more than the United States, according to Internet Live Stats. That begs the question of the timing of the news as statistics suggest India overtook America a while ago. But it does offer some insight into how the world’s biggest tech companies have started to shift their focus on to the sub-continent.
