According to the report “ Measuring digital development: Facts and figures 2020” from the International Telecommunication Union, global home internet access is nearly twice as high in urban areas as it is in rural areas: 72% of urban households have access to the internet, yet this is true for only 37% of rural households worldwide. Internet infrastructure for rural communities is underdeveloped on a global scale. For example, In September 2019, the Kerala High Court (India) held that the right to have access to the internet is part of the fundamental Right to Education as well as the Right to Privacy under Article 21 of the Constitution. Some have even gone so far as to demand that access to the internet be considered a fundamental human right (The right to internet access, also known as the right to broadband or freedom to connect). National holidays such as International Internet Day have cemented the cultural and economical importance of having access to the internet in our modern world. The proliferation of internet access has provided greater opportunities for individuals, communities, and businesses around the world. Cybersecurity Ventures predicts that there will be 6 billion internet users by 2022 (75% of the projected world population of 8 billion) and more than 7.5 billion internet users by 2030 (90% of the projected world population of 8.5 billion). Going forward it has been estimated that 90% of the human population, aged 6 years and older, will be online by 2030. This is a far cry from 1995 where a mere 16 million (0.4%) of the world’s population had access to the internet. In 2020 the number of internet users worldwide was 4.83 billion, which means that over 60% of the global population is connected to the internet. How Much of the World Has Internet Access?
