INTERNET<br />
PENETRATION<br />
Through its globally deployed Intelligent Platform, and by<br />
virtue of the nearly 3 trillion requests for web content that it<br />
serves on a daily basis, Akamai has unique visibility into levels<br />
of Internet penetration around the world. In the first quarter of 2016,<br />
over 808 million unique IPv4 addresses from 243 unique countries/<br />
regions connected to the Akamai Intelligent Platform.<br />
Although we saw over 800 million unique IPv4 addresses, Akamai<br />
believes this count represents well over 1 billion web users. In some<br />
cases, multiple individuals may be represented by a single IPv4 address<br />
(or a small number of IPv4 addresses) because they access the web<br />
through a firewall or proxy server; in other cases, individual users may<br />
have multiple IPv4 addresses associated with them due to their use of<br />
multiple connected devices. Unless otherwise specified, the use of “ip<br />
address” within Section 1.1 refers to IPv4 addresses.<br />
