The subject of the report is the Internet, and more particularly the relationship between the Internet and the telecommunications industry.

But it is also its biggest opportunity.

The report provides some 70 pages of analysis, complete with data tables and charts. A Statistical Annex to the report presents 30 pages of time-series data on Internet and telecommunication development, together with analytical charts, tables and maps, and a Directory of the main players in each sector.
