Geographical location obviously plays a huge role in the prevalence of internet access. In fully developed countries over 80 percent of people have a connection. In some of the world's poorest countries, the figure can be as low as 6.7 percent. It serves to make the Broadband Commission's goal - to have 60 percent of the world online by 2015 - look optimistic. Instead, that goal is likely to be met by 2021 at the earliest.
There is a glimmer of hope, in the form of mobile internet. In fact, the report suggests that the number of mobile data subscriptions could come close to matching the number of normal cellphone subscriptions by 2020. That will mean that many of those living in areas that aren't served by phone lines have a better chance of getting online.
For all the fun-poking that Google's Project Loon and Facebook's internet drone receive, such initiatives could yet take the web to the rest of the 4 billion that aren't online.
