Yahoo already has a large presence in India, reaching 26 million of the 35 million online Indians (according to Comscore, August 2009)

This article is about Yahoo. But that's not important. What is important is that, according to Comscore, in a country with 1.154 billion people only 35 million of them have internet access.

...

Thats 3% of the population.

On this site India is said to have an 81 million internet users.

Thats 7% of the population.

Now I'm not sure where the 100% difference in India numbers come from, or whether phones are included. The CIA puts the number of Internet users of India at 70 million. Regardless, a very small fraction of people have access to one of the most powerful resources in history.

To put this in contrast, Uzbekistan has more Internet penetration than India. Yes, a country whose dictator boils people to death has more of its population using the Internet than the largest democratic republic in the world.

Just let that sink in.
