• UTC +8 is the time zone with the most Internet users, and with an Internet penetration of only 41% it will probably grow in the years to come.
• The largest contributor worldwide is of course China with 538 million Internet Users.
• The 68% Internet penetration rate of UTC +9 may seem high, but can be explained by the large populations and high Internet penetration rates of Japan and South Korea.
• Internet penetration of UTC +1 is very uneven distributed with low numbers like 5% in Cameroon and high, for example 92% in Norway.
• Nigeria, with an Internet penetration of 30%, is the third largest contributor in UTC +1 with 48 millions Internet users. Only France (52 millions) and Germany (67 millions) have more Internet users in that time zone.

SourcesWikipedia was a great help for time zone information. Internet user numbers per country came from Internet World Stats. Population divided by time zone came from Newtimezones.com (PDF), Yahoo Answers, Wikipedia, World Bank, and Worldatlas.com.And a few of our own calculations :)
