Internet brings money to those who know how to use it properly This opinion was expressed at the VII Congress of the Internet Association of Ukraine in Kiev Olivier Crepe Leblond, head of the public advisory board of ICANN. As an example, he cited the evolution of the global market audio and video media. In the late 80's - early 90-ies music distributors have invested billions of dollars and have been doing business, selling music and video cassettes. Later they were replaced by CD-media. "16.4 billion dollars spent on the CD-ROMs worldwide. And now we see that their sales are falling extremely rapidly, because the music can be obtained from the Internet ", - explained Crepe Leblond. Restricting access to the Internet is fraught with direct financial losses. "Remember the situation with the suspension of traffic in Egypt. It cost the country as a whole $ 90 million business remained without electronic sales, lost partners. If you do not have Internet access 5 days, your partners lose confidence "- he explained. According to the representative of ICANN, a study in Britain found that 7.2% of its GDP accounts for internet business. Above are just real estate transactions - 12% of GDP, trade - 11%, financial services - 9%. "7,2% - is higher than health care, construction and even the education sector", - said the expert. According to him, British business is totally dependent on the Internet: nearly all the circulation of the documents is via email, almost nobody uses fax machines. "The train, called the Internet has arrived. Do not miss it. We need to create a positive environment for him to entrepreneurs could use it with benefit ", - summarized Crepe Leblond. Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) - an international nonprofit organization founded 18 September 1998 with the participation of the U.S. government to regulate matters relating to domain names, IP-addresses and other aspects of the functioning of the Internet.
