NEW DELHI: Call it the democratisation of internet in India. Every one in 10 urban Indians (12%) is now net connected. Over two-thirds (70%) of all internet users reside outside metros. And across urban and rural India, internet using population is evenly spread across all socio-economic classes (SEC). What's more, over 70% internet users prefer to access the net in Indian languages, with English users at just 28%, down from 41% in 2007.
There are over 49-million internet users in the country. Urban users account for a bulk of it, 40 million, with rural net users numbering 9 million. Regular net users, defined as anyone accessing the net at least once a month, number around 35 million (30-million urban and 5-million rural).
