MICUS shows that 2 million new jobs are possible
A new study from MICUS on behalf of the European Commission, DG Information Society and Media, collects evidence of the economic impact of broadband internet on labour productivity, employment level and growth. The investigation focuses on the improvement of business processes through the use of online technologies in large companies and in SMBs. In the best case scenario, broadband development could yield the creation of more than 2,000,000 jobs in Europe until 2015.
The study focuses on the use of value-added services over the internet infrastructure such as extranets, e-business, online shops and web applications. The analysis is based on statistics from Eurostat and the development plans of the major internet access providers in Europe.
