All told, 94% of the world's population now is covered by a mobile network, with hundreds of millions of people relying on it as their primary, if not only, means of accessing the Internet. Still, the report found affordability and lack of relevant content to be major barriers to Internet access. Despite its availability, just 28% of the global population has subscribed to mobile Internet services. "There are numerous countries for which the cost of mobile Internet service is more than 5% or even 10% of average per capita income," according to the report. "Further, while a significant segment of the population can access and afford the mobile Internet, they do not yet have enough interest to begin using it." http://www.internetsociety.org/globalinternetreport http://www.internetsociety.org/news/internet-society%E2%80%99s-2015-global-internet-report-mobile-key-fulfilling-promise-internet _____________________________________________ |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| > Mid-Atlantic Marketing Summit Baltimore - Sept. 30, 2015 - Baltimore Leading marketers, technologists and agency professionals from throughout the region come together at this annual event to discuss major marketing, social, digital and advertising trends, along with dozens of case studies, presentations and keynotes.
