2.2 billion people will be online by 2013 – Tech Products & Geek News | Geek.com: "In under five years time the global population of the Internet will have gone well past the 2 billion mark and be heading towards 2.2 billion according to Forrester Research. That’s an overall increase of 45%.

That growth rate is due mainly to new Internet users from Asia; with China accounting for 17% of the overall online population. Africa and the Middle East users will also rise dramatically and end up accounting for 13% of the population.

Closer to home the U.S. will see Internet penetration increase to 82% (73% today) and both the U.S. and Wetsern Europe will grow their overall population by a maximum of 3% due mainly to those areas already having a high level of Internet users (saturation)."
