- 57% of the population is already connected to mobile internet.
- In Pakistan, Nigeria, and Mexico, the rate of new mobile internet subscriber growth is slowing.
- The remaining populations will be harder, and more expensive, to get online.
At some point the growth can only follow fertility rates from 10-15 years before.
Yeah, and due to the falling replacement rate the world population itself is starting to level off and may even start to decline. That’s why conservative political parties are all doing everything they can to force people into having children, because large corporations can only exist with a large and ever growing customer base.
We’re nowhere there yet though
But how can we sustain infinite growth indefinitely then?
