Synopsis

Abstract

This IDC study explores how home office households are making use of the Internet, including high-speed Internet access, home page use, and online selling. Nearly one in three U.S. households includes a home office, either income-generating or corporate, with the Internet an increasingly important part of home office household activity.

"Although households with home-based businesses once led the way in getting online, their lead has decreased substantially, with the majority of PC households in general now having Internet access," says Merle Sandler, senior research analyst in the Home Office and SMB programs at IDC. "Simply getting online is no longer the issue, but rather how different Internet-enabled capabilities appeal in different ways to the different types of home office households."
