Nielsen//NetRatings reports that as of September 2003 there are 135.1 million Net users, but Nielsen doesn't factor university users into its estimate. comScore notes that 10.3 million Internet users are university students, which when added on to Nielsen's total, brings Nielsen's estimate much closer to comScore's latest finding. Harris has not changed its number since 2002, estimating that there are 140 million adult Net users in the US. Finally, eMarketer estimates that there are 148.9 million Internet users in the US.
