India could pass the United States in the number of Internet users in less than two years. A new report says India reached one hundred twelve million users in September. That makes India the third largest Internet market after China and the United States.

China reported four hundred eighty-five million Internet users in June, and there are more than two hundred seventy million Internet users in the United States.

The Internet and Mobile Association of India says Internet growth was especially strong among people in smaller towns and cities.
