Now a partner with venture capital firm Kleiner Perkins Caufiled Byers, Meeker unveiled a whole new set of slides at the D11 Conference, showing that there are now 2.4 billion internet users in the world, up by 8% from one year ago, with the biggest growth coming from emerging markets like Indonesia and Iran.
The vast majority of these new users are accessing the web using mobile devices – there are now 1.5 billion mobile subscribers, up from 1.1 billion a year ago, representing growth of almost 30%.
Looking at global internet trends, Meeker shows that mobile devices now account for 15% of all web traffic in the world.
