Big Tech’s Share of Global Internet Traffic
2010 – 2028
Just How Much of the Internet Is Big Tech?
The Rise of Big Tech’s Share of Global Internet Traffic (2010 to 2028, projected)
Over the past decade, a small group of tech giants, Google, Meta, Amazon, Microsoft, Apple, and Netflix, has come to dominate how the world connects and consumes content online. In 2010, these companies accounted for about 15% of global internet traffic. Today, that share is over 60% and still rising. By 2028, Big Tech could account for around 70% of the world’s internet activity, fueled by streaming, cloud services, and AI.
What does a more centralized internet mean for creativity, diversity, innovation, competition, and freedom of choice? What does it mean for your daily digital life?
Good news: the open internet is alive and thriving. Scroll down to see why.
Is the Internet Dying? Absolutely Not.

Why the Web Still Belongs to Everyone
Powered by People, Not Just Platforms
The story of the web is not just about a handful of big names. It is about all of us. Every day, people around the world build something new, share their stories, spark communities, and turn ideas into reality. Away from the main roads and outside the giant platforms, a vibrant creative web is thriving, shaped by individual voices and diverse perspectives.
From playful experiments and interactive art to indie games, tools, learning resources, and community projects, the web is still the world’s biggest playground for discovery and self-expression. Whether you want to learn, teach, create, connect, or simply explore, there is an open space waiting for you.
That is where Internet Intro comes in. We help you discover creative, independent corners of the web that search engines and social media often miss. Curious users get a fresh way to explore, and creators get a real chance to share their work.
