Why does the Asian region have the highest number of Internet users?

The total number of Internet users depends partly on how many people live in a region. Many Asian countries have very large populations, so even when only some residents are online, the region can have the highest total number of users. This makes “Many Asian countries are among the most populous in the world” the best explanation; it does not require every country to have ubiquitous networks.
