4.2 Billion People Are Still Offline

There are currently 4.2 billion people -- 57% of the world -- who are still offline on a regular basis, according to the United Nations Broadband Commission. Overall growth in internet access is expected to slump down from 8.6% in 2014 to 8.1% in 2015.
Even though report estimates that 60% of the world population should be online by 2021, the gap
between the richer and poorer nations will most likely remain wide unless policy efforts are made to bridge that gap.
Less developed countries have not adopted the internet with the same enthusiasm. Growing audiences in linguistically diverse areas, such as Africa, India and Southeast Asia, still proves to be a challenge.

Most of the world's languages are not represented online.
