  • While 10 billion “things” accessed the Internet in 2010, Cisco expects that figure to increase fivefold by 2020.
  • Currently, less than 40 percent of the worldwide population has any access to the Internet at all.
  • In Africa, some 70 percent of its population has a WiFi-connected device, but only 10 percent have access to the Internet.
