A recent report by We Are Social and Hootsuite reveals billions of devices worldwide connected to the internet (IoT). Short-range internet devices, such as wireless devices, dominate, reaching 10.75 billion units. This figure represents 46.2% of all internet-connected devices.

The number of mobile phones connected to the internet is recorded at 7.67 billion units. These phones, encompassing various types, account for 33% of all IoT devices. Conversely, fixed phones, once a mainstay, now number only 1.36 billion units, representing 5.8% of total IoT devices.

As of January 2021, there were 4.66 billion internet users. This figure is up 316 million, or 7.3%, from the same period the previous year. As a result, global internet penetration reached 59.5%.

However, the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic hampered data collection regarding the number of internet users. Actual figures may be higher than those presented.
