Paragraph
Paragraph text
By 2013, the number of Internet users worldwide had risen to 2.8 billion, meaning that nearly 40 per cent of the world's population had access to the Internet. However, there are significant regional variations in Internet penetration. Europe has a penetration rate of nearly 70 per cent and North America of nearly 85 per cent. Africa has a penetration rate of 21 per cent and Asia of 32 per cent. Those figures reflect trends at regional levels but they mask penetration differences within each region.
