These statistics show the Internet is growing and the industry is booming. The evidence of growth in the industry means it's a healthy market for you to be in business. There are now millions of people online. What does this mean for you? You will provide solutions to put businesses on the Web, for them to reach those millions of surfers and shoppers. Plus, there are hundreds of millions of people who still want to get online. Those are the people waiting for you to give them the access.

Today, there are 349 million people accessing the Internet worldwide. And the number of Internet users is projected to reach 766 million in 2005, according to TheStandard.com. With this rapid growth rate, the Internet industry consistently remains a surplus market. With Quik Internet, your market and selling opportunities will be limitless.

Isn't the market saturated with Internet service providers?

Absolutely not, it's not even anywhere close to being saturated. In the United States there are approximately 7,000 Internet service providers, and while this may seem like a lot, in truth they can't keep up with the raising demand. Quik Internet has over 220 franchise locations in 23 different countries and is growing at a rapid rate. Also, the Internet service providers in place are mostly small companies that do not possess the large Web servers needed to compete in today's market of a more demanding consumer. Quik International's IBM RS/6000 Web servers put our franchisees far ahead of the competition.

Technology is evolving in areas that the average person can't even begin to imagine. The Internet will be in our automobiles, in our home appliances such as our refrigerators and air conditioning and home alarm systems. It will be in vending machines, restaurants, parking garages, everywhere you go. It will be in every aspect of our life. There is no such thing as a growing market where no one steps in to compete. The idea is to find a growing market, recognize its potential, and become a part of it.
