"Business-related internet sites in Australia have doubled
in the past twelve months, according to a federal government report, stats:Electronic
Commerce in Australia.
It is the first statistical report covering business on the
internet in Australia, and shows there are at least 54 800 business sites. It also shows
that in 1997 there were 1.5 billion electronic transactions made to a value of $16
trillion worldwide.
Other highlights of the survey include
- 11 per cent of all businesses have a Web site
- 35 per cent of businesses with a web site claimed it had
significant effect on business
- By the end of this year, most of the top 1000 businesses will have
online presence
- Nearly $4 million was spent on online advertising in 1997. This is
expected to triple in 1998
- By February 1998, there were approximately one million Australians
over the age of eighteen accessing the internet from home
- Over the twelve months leading to February 1998, 1.3 million
Australians made the connection from work, 1.5 million from other locations (such as
libraries, internet kiosks, etc.) and 1 million dialling up from home."
