Billions will connect to the
Internet
ADSL South Africa (Broadband South Africa), 17
December 2007
It is estimated that five billion
people will be connected to the Internet by 2015. This is according to Walter Fust, Chairman of the Global
Knowledge Partnership (GKP). The GKP is the organiser of the GK3 conference.
This must come as good news to people that make a living off the
Internet because the more people that connect to the Internet the more job and market opportunities are expected to
surface.
Job opportunities…
‘Fust, who is also the Director-General, Swiss Agency for
Development and Cooperation (SDC) said the plan, will not only create enormous job opportunities for software and
hardware suppliers, but also connect billions of people to the Internet’ (Five billion connected by 2015, Gervais
J. Henrie, HANA, 13 December 2007).
In other words, the GKP is not only aiming to get 5 billion people
connected to the Internet by 2015 but also wants to create job opportunities in the process.
