A recent study as reported in the Phil. Daily Inquirer said that the number of Internet users in the country will reach 30 million by the year 2012. Now how big is our current population? 80 million? That is already amazing to have that much percentage of the populace being online.
But as the report said, the numbers are just for the metropolitan or urban areas. As expected, the countryside is still very far from connecting to the Internet in a much bigger scale. I believe more infrastrcture must be built in the rural areas to bring the power of the World Wide Web closer to the other millions of Filipinos.
Now does that mean there will be more Filipinos using Facebook, Twitter or playing online games? I sure hope so.
