The study attempts to gauge the commercial impact of the Internet 25 years on from the first .com domain name registration. According to ITIF estimates, the annual global economic benefits of the commercial Internet equals $1.5 trillion, a number that surpassed the global sales of medicine, investment in renewable energy, and government investment in R&D, combined. ITIF also estimates that, assuming e-commerce continues to grow just half as fast as it grew between 2005 and 2010, then by 2020, it will add $3.8 trillion to the global economy. |
