A economia digital (quase) para tótós (e à borla)

Está disponível online um pdf de 200 páginas de acesso gratuito com dados estatísticos e outras informações relevantes sobre a Internet e a economia digital que cresce à sua volta. Como alerta Jill Walker Rettberg, este trabalho não resulta de uma investigação independente nem muito menos inocente, mas de qualquer forma pode ser útil para quem está a elaborar trabalhos relacionados com a área.
