The economic benefits of the Internet
•
The economies of the world are increasingly
powered by the creation, use and transmission of
information and entertainment content in digital
format.
•
The deployment of Internet infrastructure impacts
the economy both directly and indirectly.
•
The effects of broadband technology on the
economy are much more far-reaching than the direct
benefit created by capital investment in deployment
and the manufacturing of the components such a
network requires.
•
As Internet penetration increases, there will be
resulting demand for computer and home
network equipment, software applications,
wireless devices and other equipment.
•
Like all infrastructure investment, the economic
impacts of Internet will also include the
increased productivity and innovation that it
fosters.
•
The Internet provides increases in employment
and economic activity.
•
The wide-ranging deployment of Internet
infrastructure will have the direct effect of
employing thousands of people: to manufacture,
sell, purchase, install, manage, and maintain the
equipment and facilities, as well as the resulting
services.
•
The Internet makes the world smaller. The ability
to communicate and exchange information
instantaneously and across vast distances has
enabled more individuals and businesses to
participate in the economy, regardless of their
location.
•
Large companies can connect with employees, suppliers,
and partners around the globe, and small businesses can
find their customers anywhere in the world.
•
Businesses can hire knowledge workers almost regardless
of where they are, greatly expanding employment
opportunities for people in the United States, and giving
developing nations the ability to become economic
powerhouses by providing information technology services
to the rest of the world.
•
The Internet, along with other computer technologies, is
literally enabling some developing countries to "leapfrog"
the industrial revolution and jump straight to the Internet
Age.
•
The Internet makes the world simpler. For businesses, the
Internet breaks down logistical barriers, offering greater
flexibility and power in the way they do business. It shrinks
time and distance, simplifies complex business processes,
and enables more effective communication and
collaboration--a giant corporation can now be as nimble as
a tiny start-up, while a family firm located in a remote
rural village now has the world as its marketplace.
•
Combined with advanced productivity software, the
Internet enables individual knowledge workers to use their
time more efficiently, and to focus on more productive
tasks. And it gives consumers the ability to shop smarter,
to find the best products at the right prices. In fact, it
empowers them in ways that once were available only to
large companies, enabling them to join with others to buy
products at lower prices, and bid competitively around the
world.
The Internet brings vast economic benefits by driving digital content creation and innovation, boosting employment, and facilitating global trade. Its social impact includes enabling worldwide communication and economic empowerment. Politically, it fosters information exchange, while educationally and culturally, it enhances access to knowledge and diverse perspectives.
