The study also finds: Internet traffic has doubled every 100 days; Internet commerce among business will likely surpass $300 billion by 2002; in just 4 years, the Internet has surpassed 50 million users -- for radio it took 38 years, for TV 13 years; in 1994, 3 million people were connected to the Internet -- by the end of 1997, 100 million were using it; inflation would have ben 3.1% in 1997 without information technology (total inflation in '97 was 2%); and information technology industry workers earn an average of $46,000 compared to an average of $28,000 for the private sector overall. The report recommends that governments stay out of the growing industry.
