The world has joined the network to such extent that the two are now synonymous - the network is the world. The statistics speak for themselves:
More than 1 billion people connected across every continent
Billions of devices from sensors and cell phones to supercomputers
And petabytes of data in the form of e-mail streaming media, blogging, text messaging, package tracking, and more join the network on a weekly basis.
Today's Internet represents a market opportunity that dwarfs, by orders of magnitude, anything that's come before. With more than 70 percent of the world’s populations still not connected, these statistics are likely to continue to increase for generations.
At Sun, we strive to connect everything and everyone, linking people to technology and the world.
