Only has 22 million have internet access out of the 90 million or so population. The majority of users belong to the ages 10 and 29. Based on the age range you can already guess what these users are up to when using the internet. Most Filipinos use internet for communication, 63 percent of the respondents is using it for sending emails and instant messaging. The survey also showed that Filipinos do not trust banking or even purchasing online as these two habits only consists three percent each. And yup you're guess is right, 53 percent are just spending their time playing games and 51 percent for socializing. This is the part that worrying as these last two can be considered as a waste of time.

Most access the internet through internet cafes, in fact as much as 71 percent of users. The cost of using internet cafes is in the range of 10 to 25 PHP per hour. Let's say the average user spends two hours each day for 5 days a week, internet usage per month could amount to 400 PHP on the cheap side and 1,000 PHP at the high end. If you subscribe for internet connection through ISP's, the cost is also substantial. Internet connection offered in PLDT's DSL Xperience package with connection speed of up to 1.0 Mbps is 999.00 PHP monthly. So as you can see internet usage is expensive and the young generation is wasting it by playing games and socializing.

But how many actually generate income using this platform? As a blogger you can earn by writing articles and through affiliates of commercial sites. Did you know you can earn at least $10 by writing articles in your blog or for other sites?

Somewhere someone in the archipelago is making money by blogging, telemarketing, developing web sites, medical transcriptions and a lot more. Why won't you?

While the rest of the world has been steadily seeing increases in their number of residents who have Internet access, Europe is one of the leaders in the statistics. As more individuals continue to use the Internet, more telecom vacancies will be available for new workers who are eager to do their part to fill these European jobs and to keep the continent far ahead of the rest of the world.

Telecom vacancies in the Internet fields have grown as more people, businesses, and educational facilities go online. In 2007, statistics showed that nearly 50% of the population of Europe was already using the Internet that was comparable to just under 20% for the rest of the world. Only North America with 73% and Australia with nearly 60% rank higher. However, more European jobs are opening in the telecom industry to meet the growing demand for more Internet infrastructure, particularly high-speed infrastructure.

Of course, the telecom vacancies in the Internet field vary from country to country. Germany leads the rest with nearly 60% of its population having Internet access. That’s compared to Portugal with less than 10% of its population having online access. Clearly, that means if you’re looking for telecom vacancies in these fields you can expect the largest growth to be in countries such as Portugal, Poland, and the Netherlands which are working to catch up with the number of telecommunication European jobs in countries like Germany, the United Kingdom, and France.

Recent statistics have shown that some other areas are likely to have a large number of European jobs available in telecommunication fields. Remember that a tremendous growth in Internet usage is going to require more telecom vacancies to be developed and eventually filled. Eastern European jobs in these areas are particularly growing quickly because some of those countries have since enormous increases in Internet usage. Between 2000 and 2007, Hungary, Romania, and Russia saw triple digit growth: 389%, 775%, and 848%, respectively. With those types of statistics, the European jobs in these areas should be numerous and the telecom vacancies are probably still quite high. Growth in Western Europe during the same period has also been prolific in some countries, including France, Greece, and Italy.

Finding European jobs in the telecommunication industry on the continent isn’t as difficult as you might think. Both Western and Eastern parts are continuing to see amazing changes in the industry, especially as new technology opens new doors and creates all new telecom vacancies. The challenge, however, can be in finding those telecom vacancies when they exist.
