Please take note that the growth rates shown are affected by the starting point situation in 2000 for each region. Internet propagation started in 1995 and certain countries and regions were "early adopters". Other territories and regions are "late adopters". Logically they are behind the rest of the world in the Internet penetration numbers and today show high growth rates, corresponding to their efforts to obtain Internet usage benefits in their areas. Some territories are "laggards", and will take a long time to adopt Internet usage.

There are 39 countries and territories in the world that have over 50% Internet penetration rates., and can rightly be considered as having a highly developed
digital culture.
