Think about it! That’s the beauty of the web and why it has brought such success to companies such as eBay, Amazon, Google, and basically every single big web company out there, they are doing business all over the world through the web.
Lucky for us online business owners, the world of the internet just keeps growing in population all over the world. TechCrunch had some great statistics on the growing population of the internet around the world and the largest populations it holds.
