US: 500 Millionen USD Schaden durch Clinton/Video
Die versuchte Hinrichtung Bill Clintons vermittels
Information durch die Allianz der Spermajäger im US-Kongress
dürfte der US-Wirtschaft einen Schaden von etwa halben
Milliarde Dollar durch entgangene Produktivität zugefügt
haben. Die hohe Zahl von 2 Millionen Zugriffen auf das Video
im Netz - trotz paralleler Ausstrahlung im TV - erklärt sich
simpel dadurch, dass an einem Montag um 9.00 morgens
(Eastern) sehr viele User Zugriff auf das Netz, nicht aber
auf die private TV/Kiste haben.
Das dazu passende Textdokument wird gar auf 25 Millionen
Downloads eingeschätzt.

SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE) via NewsEdge Corporation -- The
cost to businesses in lost employee productivity from the
Internet broadcasts of the Starr reports is in excess of
$450 million over the last two weeks, according to a new
study.
This figure includes both Starr's written report to congress
and the President's video deposition before the Grand Jury.
Conducted by NetPartners Internet Solutions Inc. of San
Diego, the study warns actual costs to businesses could be
much higher, resulting from increased strain on network
resources slowing access speeds and causing computer down
time. Support time to resolve issues from unauthorized
installations of software to download and view the reports
represent significant additional costs as well.
"This one event demonstrates the enormous potential costs
and risks of unmanaged Internet access for employers," said
Cleve Adams, NetPartners vice president of sales and
marketing. "Add into this the daily temptations to visit
other non-work related Internet sites, and you see why
businesses of all sizes are so eager to implement Internet
access management systems."
The numbers are based on the estimated 25 million downloads
of the written Starr report plus an additional 2 million
downloads of the video testimony over the Internet. It is
estimated that half of all downloads came from the
workplace, for a workplace viewership of 13.5 million. Using
an average employee cost of $35 per hour, and an average
view time of one hour, the total cost to employers is $470
million in lost productivity.
