Online usage everywhere - another story from Germany
When I was last in Germany about 2 years back, online prevalence wasn't that strong.
This has changed this year. There were a lot of smaller companies that used all possibilities to advertised. Many cars had sticker at the back, advertising their services and their webpage. This was one of the main changes that I saw.
Just look at the picture below.
It simply indicates that you can purchase your week or yearly train- or bus ticket for different segments online - webaddress is "www.meincomputeristeinfahrkartenautomat.de. A bit long, may be, but well.
Is this amazing? I am not sure if this is available elsewhere in the world, but I am of the opinion that the purchase of tickets via the web sure is a strong indicator that a lot is going on on the web. Do you agree?

*want to say I've always enjoyed your posts.. some are particularly relevant & makes me ponder. Service levels, courtesy in business, how we treat others, how others treat us etc and more importantly how to improve in all aspects. Am graduating this yr-end, so one of your last posts struck a chord. Really have to differentiate myself from the rest of the job-seekers out there..
keep up the blogging! =)

e-ticketing is a great idea. I've done it before a few times, no screw ups and all, and I wouldn't hesitate doing it again.

If it's reliable, it would be a success. In Malaysia, ppl are still reluctant to make purchases online. So far, I think Air Asia is doing a good job but I'm not sure bout weekly or yearly purchases though.
