New data published by the International Communication Union (ITU), the UN agency for information and communication technologies, has revealed that almost 3 billion people have never used the internet and are thus cut off from a vital source of information, communication and education.

This unusually sharp increase in internet users is attributed at least partly to what the ITU calls a “COVID connectivity boost”.
