OECD 2012 Internet Economy Outlook Report Released
http://j.mp/SFJcqL (Google Policy by the Numbers Blog)
"Today the OECD has released its 2012 Internet Economy Outlook, a
comprehensive look at the Internet's ongoing role in transforming the
global economy. The report opens with a landmark chapter on measuring
the Internet economy. This is a significant addition to the research
literature on this subject in part because, as the OECD notes, "there
is still no widely accepted methodology for assigning an economic
value to the Internet." They find that up to 13% of business sector
value added in the United States in 2010 could be attributed to
Internet-related activities-as much as transportation, construction
and utilities combined."
