BGR, If you were estimating Inet revenue, then your figures imply that in 10 years time Inet revenue is up by a factor of 46.48. If the Inet business is over 2% now, then the larger part of commerce would be handled over the Net. In Sweden, a recent survey showed that the most ecommerce is done (no big surprise) by the mail order companies. The figure was 3.9% web orders. The rest of the etail business was less than 0.5% of retail. I guess we still like to stroll around in shopping malls, kicking tires on used autos, feeling the texture on clothes. If ecommerce takes over, the whole structure of city cores and personal activities may be changed.
