Comment on Internet Population Passes 1 Billion, India still only at 2.8%

Comments

2% of India is the same as ~60% in France. A % is not really a good idea here, though you are comparing what % of a nation's populace can get onto the net.

A % is not really a good idea here

60% of France online means that the French online presence can grow to ~167% of what it is. 2% of India online means Indian presence on the internet can grow to ~5000%. That's a big difference.

So it really depends what you are looking for... and he has the raw numbers, also... As a matter of fact, I think he implied that he added the percentage column precisely to see how much room for growth there is.
