The Infographic below shows social media usage statistics. Most of them have social media accounts to connect with one another, engage with news content, share information and entertain themselves. As more Americans have adopted social media, the social media user base has also grown more representative of the broader population. Young adults were among the earliest social media adopters and continue to use these sites at high levels, but usage by older adults has decreased in recent years. YouTube, Facebook Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn are the most-widely used online platforms with YouTube and Facebook leading the list.

In this digital era ISPs have to play a major role in providing uninterrupted Internet services for their customers with exceptional speed and cost-effective plans to keep their customer online 24×7. Today ISPs have access to peering links with Internet exchanges where most of the social media traffic like YouTube and Facebook can be accessed at a lower cost with lower latency and better experience. This makes up for up to 70% of the content consumed in home broadband usage and can help the ISPs save a lot of costs if accessed through direct peering.

Jaze ISP Manager enables Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to manage your peering and Internet policies for efficient bandwidth delivery and quality Internet experience to end users.

The infographic below shows the changing landscape of mobile broadband adoption where people are rapidly embracing smartphones and mobile Internet to bridge the gap and get access to affordable entertainment. This is happening at a very fast rate accelerated by the COVID pandemic in both urban and rural areas. Smartphones are wildly used because they are more affordable than computers, laptops and many other electronic devices which can be used to connect to the Internet. Internet driving factors include Social media, video streaming and bill payments amongst other. The lowering cost of mobile data combined with higher speeds and data limits have accelerated the growth of mobile broadband.

But this does not mean broadband connections are not increasing. Fixed line fiber broadband provides access to multiple devices for entire homes with much lower latency and consistency. The need for working from home has increased customers to adopt fixed line broadband for better video and remote working expertise. The ISP providers should work towards offering the best Internet services to all the homes. Broadband penetration on mobile and fixed line fiber services are going to boom over the coming years and BRAS providers have a huge market to fulfill as connections increase worldwide.

The Infographic below shows the statistics and key factors for the growth of the rural Internet population in India. There is a 45% growth in monthly active subscribers in rural India which is at a much higher rate when compared to the urban areas. It is also estimated that there will be around 650 million active internet users by the end of 2020 of which more than 300 million Internet users will be from rural areas. This increasing number of internet users is because of local language adoption of the Internet and a growing younger population seeking Internet access earlier then before. Children and homemakers will be the new internet adopters in the next year or two. Nearly 85% use for entertainment purposes.  

2020 has seen an enormous shift in both Internet adoption and frequency of usage due to the pandemic. OTT, local services, social media and communication and online payments will be some of the key elements that will drive the impact.

India’s Internet penetration has improved at a much faster pace this year. This has been driven largely by the pandemic situation which has helped increase the number of Internet users to nearly 730 million. This means half of the population in India already uses Internet. The number of Internet users has increased in both urban as well as rural regions, indicating a dynamic growth in access to Internet. Rural growth has outpaced the growth in urban areas during this period. Though India’s internet penetration is only 50%, it is already the second-largest internet user base in the world, only behind China. 

The number of online transactions especially for e-commerce has increased business activity. More and more people are accessing Internet on their phones as a primary device in regional languages. This has led to increase in e-commerce transactions and better access to information. There is a gradual shift to travel related transactions moving online with faster and better experience.

ISPs providing broadband services should ensure their networks scale to cope with increasing demand and integrate with all the new delivery technologies based on fiber to provide cost effective growth.
