The amount of Internet users surged to 477 million in March of this year. Last year, China had 420 million Internet users, far surpassing the 239.2 million internet users the US registered online in 2010. Around 78% of the US population has at least a home based email account. In China, Internet penetration is under 40%, but still greater than countries like Brazil and Mexico.
