Global Internet User Survey2012
Tabular Data
The Internet Society is a trusted independent source of leadership for Internet policy, technology standards, and future development. More than simply advancing technology, we work to ensure the Internet continues to grow and evolve as a platform for innovation, economic development, and social progress for people around the world.
The Global Internet User Survey (GIUS) is a globally-scoped survey programme developed by the Internet Society to provide reliable information relevant to issues important to the Internet’s future. As an ongoing effort, the survey informs and supports the activities of the global Internet Society community. While other ICT surveys focus on economic, infrastructure, or other Internet use indicators, the GIUS focuses on users, which are the source of innovation that has driven the Internet’s development, evolution and dramatic growth over the past four decades.
In July and Augustof 2012 the GIUS conducted online interviews of more than 10,000 Internet users in 20 countries.This report is intended to provide a general overview of the behaviors and opinions of Internet users on various topics. The data and this study aim to represent the views of the users surveyed rather than the positions of the Internet Society or its global community. This document provides the results of the data in tabular form.
A summary report, further analysis, more information on methodology, and the full data set from the 2012 GIUS are available at:
This study was conducted for the Internet Society by Redshift Research, a leading business market research firm.
