Chapter 389: Whose Hands Will the Deer Die In

How many Internet users are there in the United States now? The answer is at least thirty-four million.

While no specific agency has investigated this data, according to internal estimates from the CIX Alliance, this number is not an overestimation.

Looking back at the conclusion of the Internet survey report from early '96, there were a total of twenty-five million people surfing the web in the United States at that time.

This means that in just over half a year, the number of Internet users has increased by nearly nine million.

The growth rate is accelerating, and an annual increase of twenty million users is a conservative estimate.

So here's the question, just relying on the growth market, the number of new Internet users in '96 accounted for nearly half of the total population.

That is to say, when Microsoft firmly controls these growth markets, it would only take one year for its own Navigator browser to reach a 50% market share.
