Moscow-based “Public Opinion Foundation” reports that 32.7 mln users in Russia have had a constant Internet access by May 2008, making the number almost 30% of the Russia’s population. This puts Russia on the 4th place in the world in Internet penetration after Germany, Brazil and UK.
The report also points out that 33% of Russian male population and 25% of females in the country are regular Internet users. 69% of the Internet users access the net from home, 40 % use the world wide web from their workplaces. Although less than 10% use their mobile phones to browse the web, the number of mobile Internet users is growing.
As forecasted by the Ministry of Telecom and Mass Communications a few months ago, Russia might as well score the second place in Europe by the end of 2008 with 46 mln. surfers.
