akamai state of the internet earthAkamai has today released its Q1 State of the Internet report detailing the latest figures in online and mobile usage and current security threats. The topline figure is that our connected world is getting more connected. There are now nearly 734 million addresses in use worldwide, the company says. Akamai estimates that this works out to over 1 billion users because of device sharing. This represents growth of some 10% on last year -- still a healthy number, despite the gradual exhaustion of IPv4 numbers, which alone are now around 700 million of that total IP address number.
