The Internet Economy Is Now at Least $135 Billion a Year

• The Progressive Policy Institute has estimated that $135 billion of value added was provided by the "internet economy" in 1999.
  
• They project that a year and a half hence--in 2001--that the internet economy will generate $360 billion of value added.
  
• Nearly a third of the current internet economy is made up of business-to-business transactions.
  
• The Progressive Policy Institute's projections are for that share to grow: to half of the internet economy over the next eighteen months.
