The Economics of the Internet
Although quite US-centric this research paper is quite interesting.
Internet Value Chain Economics
Gaining a deeper understanding of the Internet economy
Summary: When considering the technological innovations of the past 50 years, the Internet is probably the one that has had the greatest impact on everyday life in developed economies.
Nearly six out of 10 Americans now shop online and more than four out of 10 bank online. Twenty hours of video are uploaded to YouTube every minute, while 5 percent of all time online is spent on the social networking site, Facebook. The Internet has also changed the way in which businesses operate—today, 64 percent of C-level executives conduct six or more searches per day to locate business information. The Internet has been a source of great good—as evidenced by the role played by Internet-based mapping and communications in the relief effort following the recent Haiti earthquake. The Internet also has shown a negative side — more than 97 percent of all emails are spam, while more than 70 percent of Americans fear online identity theft and 57 percent feel that their personal privacy has been greatly diminished by the Internet.
