The population of the internet is now definitely over 1 billion, and possibly as high as 1.5 billion people.
What I had no idea about was that China now has more people on the internet than the USA...
Top 10 countries, by Internet population:
1. China: 179.7 million
2. United States: 163.3 million
3. Japan: 60.0 million
4. Germany: 37.0 million
5. United Kingdom: 36.7 million
6. France: 34.0 million
7. India: 32.1 million
8. Russia: 29.0 million
9. Brazil: 27.7 million
10. South Korea: 27.3 million

I know you probably don't have answers to hand to the above but it seems to be a very arbitrary figure without definition.
