.E-commerce

On-line shopping is quickly becoming a major retail growth area as internet awareness continues to increase amongst consumers. Every day, more and more shoppers are discovering the choice and convenience of ordering goods and services from the comfort of their own homes.

Worldwide, over 270 million homes now have internet access - and more than 130 million of those are high-speed connections!

More than 45 million European homes are expected to enjoy fast 'net connection by 2008 - while the UK currently has the highest take-up of ADSL Broadband in the world! [*source, ITfacts.biz]
