_ In January 2007, there were 16 million
Hispanic users resident in the U.S. that accessed the
Internet from either home, work or at a university. Based
on these data, the U.S. Hispanic online population, which
comprises approximately one third of the total U.S. Hispanic
population, is 11 percent larger than the total online population
of Spain, and 4 percent larger than the total online population
of Mexico, Argentina and Colombia combined. Hispanic Internet
users’
online usage intensity, as measured by time spent and pages
viewed online, is comparable to that of the total Internet
population.
