[LINK] Fwd: MR 28/09: Nearly all small to medium enterprises now use the internet to communicate with customers and suppliers [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

[Sylvano]

The report table source is stated to be the Sensis Business Index, May
2008.  But that ain't it.  Rather, after a little hunting, I found the
series of reports, Sensis e-Business reports, with the latest release for
July 2008 containing the sourced information:

Earlier releases listed at:
http://www.about.sensis.com.au/resources/sebr.php

It also notes that 1% expect to use email.

Plenty of other tables of interest are in the reports, such as:

46% of business respondents had e-commerce concerns of people being able
to hack into your computer system.

54% of businesses take orders over the 'net, and 63% receive payments.
