Spain doubles users in 2007

I read the following in TelecomPaper: Skype doubles Spanish users in 2007; counts 4.8 mln.

As usual, let me correct this statement: they mean “registered user names”, not "registered users", and this isn't equal to "active users".

Like i do usually, let us assume the numbers are however correct, this would mean that:
  • 1.8 % of the active Worldwide Skypers are from Spain
  • 12 % of the population of Spain are Skypers
  • 18 % of the “active” population of Spain are Skypers (discounting people older than 65 years, and younger than 15 years)
  • 26 % of Spanish internet users are Skypers
Bear in mind that the second, third and fourth numbers above are very exaggerated. Reasons can be found in my previous post on Chinese data.
