October 1999


Update: Estonia

Despite the Estonian overall development towards information society (which is characterized also by the dissemination of information via the Internet), the number of web-pages did not increase substantially during the reporting period (July – October 1999). This follows mainly from the overall passive level of activities in most of the sectors.
