1 McKinsey looked at the Internet contribution in 13 countries constituting 70% of global GDP. The countries studied include G8 countries; China, India, and Brazil (emerging countries); and Sweden and South Korea (as they are most advanced countries in terms of broadband penetration). 2 For the rest of the world, Mckinsey used estimated percentage shares based on Internet penetration in each country. |

If Internet consumption and expenditures were a sector, its weight in GDP would be bigger than the energy or agriculture industry. |
