[Vnbiz] Internet User Statistics Research

[Tran Dinh Hoanh]

Dear Brothers Nhon & Shane & CACC,

This is a very good research, Nhon.  I think anh Shane is correct that
there are is statistics available and you will have to find that for
yourself.

I would assume that if you knock on the doors of some major Internet
companies, like FPT, they may have some very raw numbers (like number
of total Internet users, professionals, students, etc...).  Upon these
numbers you can build further research, such as surveying a sample of
professionals, a sample of students, then extrapolate your results
using the existing totals from the Internet companies.

And anh Shane is correct that whoever can chip in to help should do
that (and will be entitled to know the results afterwards, of course,
with an agreement to keep the info confidential).

Fascinating questions.  I would love to do that myself.

Have a great day!

Hoanh
