ExportIT Reports

The ExportIT reports are a series of in-depth studies focused on foreign IT and Internet markets. They describe and analyze the trends, key issues, and events in telecommunications, the Internet, and e-commerce in regional markets. These reports help create a framework from which U.S. small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) can make educated business decisions about entering these markets.

Analysis focuses on the status of telecommunications liberalization, competition in telecommunications services, and the deployment of new telecommunications technologies, and how these changes are affecting the adoption of the Internet and e-commerce.

Economic, cultural, historical, and political factors that influence the spread of information, Internet, and e-commerce technologies are also vital pieces of these reports. Suggested market entry strategies for smaller firms, as well as U.S. Department of Commerce and other resources to assist U.S. firms in market entry endeavors, are provided.

Feedback is welcomed, particularly on regions or countries you would like to see analyzed in future reports.

Look for reports on Japan, Western Europe (France and Germany), and China to be released in the coming months. All reports are available on the ExportIT Web site: http://exportit.ita.doc.gov.
