According to the Internet World Stats, by March 2011, the internet user population reached 2 billion worldwide, an increase of 480.4 % in the period from 2000 to 2011. Eight to ten years ago, B2B firms–large and small, may have asked themselves the question of whether or not to move their business to the Internet.
