This red-hot technology is poised to reach 1.3 billion subscribers by 2004, according to the experts at Cahners In-Stat Group.

Net Rivals Papers, Tops TV, As Key Info Source
Broadband's value will come from building enriched data, presentation, and function into Web browsers, but users will be impatient with animation, audio, and video that don't support their goals.

Online Training 'Boring'
Businesses are enthusiastic about online learning, but whether many are actually seeing any real benefits from their Net-based education programs is unclear, according to a recent study.

Internet Jobs Out There, Workers Are Missing
The Internet continues to create new jobs both directly and across other industries, according to a study by Andersen Consulting, which found the US continues to have the world's most advanced digital economy, with Europe starting to close the gap.

NextGen OSS Critical to Service Providers' Success.

Internet Figures Positive For US And Europe
The US is still ahead in terms of Internet penetration, with over 51 million households connected, while the UK leads the way in terms of home PC Internet access in Europe.

The Forsaken Dot-Coms
As many dot-coms are losing the name as there are people racing to claim it.

Asian Internet Tigers
According to the French research firm NetValue, many Asian countries refuse to be stuck on the wrong side of the global digital divide.
