Datamonitor:Two Thirds of European Businesses Wired
A new report from Datamonitor predicts that 65 percent of all European
businesses, representing 5.4 million individual businesses, will have
Internet access by 2004. Currently, 2.2 million businesses are thought
to be online across Western Europe.
Datamonitor also examined the market on a country by country basis. In
Finland, 45 percent of the country's businesses have Internet access,
followed by Sweden, where 44 percent of businesses have access. This
compares to 42 percent in Denmark, 35 percent in Germany, 34 percent in
the UK and in Switzerland. In the Netherlands, 30 percent of businesses
had Net access, compared to 23 percent in Belgium, 15 percent in Italy
and 13 percent in Spain.
The report estimates that the Internet access market in the region will
be worth USD2 billion in revenue generated by subscriptions and set-up
fees. The findings are based on a survey of 100 business focused ISPs
in eleven European countries.
