[edit] Move?
When I saw the title, I thought it would be about a government sponsored plan to give everyone on the planet internet access, if of a low bandwhich. However, it's a list of what language people on the internet speak. Move this to Internet user statistics or Internet user atributes or something similar.

In response to the above comment, the page was moved from Global internet access to Global internet usage.
[edit] Weird number
According to this organization, in 2006 there are 28 million French-speaking users. However, French stat companies state that in 2005 there were 26 million French Internet users and it's growing fast. [1] Since there are a number of other French-speaking countries or subnational entities out there, it seems to me that the number cited in this article is underestimated.

[edit] Duplicate articles?
It seems that this article and Languages on the Internet may be duplicates. They should probably be merged, preferably Languages on the Internet into this article (Global internet usage). Also, shouldn't internet be capitalized? It is the network as a whole afterall. - Rudykog 13:37, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Merge OK
I think Languages on the Internet article should stay where it is. It was due to that reason I got here. This article had what I was searching for so I think the title is pretty descriptive. But I have no ojections if it is merged with the other article Global internet usage. That second article title is a bit misleading since I think it should be cover more than just what languages spoken. More statistics over how many people at all in different countries uses Internet. Browsers and other system statistics.
[edit] Average number of users on a single day
I suppose that with "Total number of Internet users" one means the total number of people that use internet with a given frequency, or that have used it at least once (which one, by the way?). Does anybody know if there are sources on the average number of people who connect to internet on a single day? And does "Total number of Internet users" as used in this article mean the same as "Internet users" in alexa.com?
[edit] Languages table
I think it should be deleted or fully rewritten, because it doesn't make any sense or contradicts other wikipedia pages. e.g.
