MEDIA-I: Web-enabled firms in S'pore close to 100pc

Singapore's internet access is on the rise, according to the city's Infocomm Development Authority (IDA), with 98.7 per cent of all companies now web enabled, leaving a mere one per cent of firms not connected to the web. The IDA also said business to business (B2B) will be worth Sdollars 109 billion (USdollars 59.92 billion) this year, up from Sdollars 92 billion last year. It added B2B trade with countries such as Malaysia, Indonesia, Taiwan, China, South Korea and Japan, was also on the rise. Separately, marketers are most likely to find young women online at career, education and banking sites, according to recent analysis from Nielsen//NetRatings, which found that panadaplanet, jobsdb and hangseng registered the strongest skew towards female surfers. "Of all Hong Kong web surfers visiting pandaplanet in March, the largest group was women aged 21 to 34, comprising 46 per cent of total visitors to the domain and the strongest skew towards this group," the survey found. The report added that the top 10 domains with a disproportionately high number of females aged 21 to 34 were those related to education and careers.
