Since July 2007, CNNIC has counted as Internet users anyone over six years old who visited the Internet from any terminal (including a mobile phone), at least once in six months. Before July 2007, an Internet user was defined as anyone who spent at least an hour a week online. As a result of this change, more low-income users, such as migrant workers and rural residents, who use mobile phones instead of personal computers as their main communications interface, are now being included as netizens.
