More and more businesses across the UK are trading online
as technology prices plummet and access to faster communications
spreads. eBusiness is growing rapidly: Government figures show
that 22 per cent of the UK population regularly uses the Internet,
with 33 per cent of organisations using or intending to use the
Internet to buy and sell.
Broadband access is a major driver of a company's ability
to deal with customers and suppliers online. The last British
Chambers of Commerce Broadband survey found that over 60 per
cent of all companies think customers will pressure them within
the next five years to conduct business that requires a broadband
connection. Nearly half of all companies, (48 per cent) predicted
suppliers would exert similar pressure.
