[Air-L] Quantitative research in information systems

[Peter Timusk]

Here are many available data sets about the Internet in terms of use.  
This is an area I work in. I consider quantitative to mean measured by  
numbers. So would think you mean data sets of numbers so Use of the  
Internet comes to mind.

There are OECD data sets, US and Canada and many others.

Read by hundreds of lurkers every week.
Kiitos Paljon,  Merci,  and thank you.
