	E-Commerce Study on SSL Servers
	The electronic Commerce is growing rapidly in many parts of the world. In the Asian and oceanic region the rate of expansion has reached unprecedented dimensions. The governments of the Asian countries have acted quickly and helped get projects on the air: Singapore - "wired Island" Hong Kong - "Cyberport" Malaysia - "Multimedia super corridor" China made 1999 the year of internet connectivity as all ministries went to get themselves into the web. They went that far that even the Chinese signs were digitized and made available in 1997 on many sites with the help of a special plug-in . You will even find the smallest Chinese calculator manufacturer in the web.
	If you compare the number of E-Commerce servers in Asia with those of USA and Europe you will be amazed. In shown graph you will only see those E-Commerce Servers which have a SSL key. The tiger nations have long overtaken Europe's online world. Just by grasping the fact that before 1998 China didn't even have a single SSL Server one realizes how fast the net is growing.
	One must not forget Australia as it is one of the first countries to adopt the net for it's culture and business. Australia and the US have the advantage of a demonopolised Telecommunications market. Europe is still fighting with it's many big companies which have complete control of local networks. It is especially questionable if a telecom company offers a internet access service as it can set the fees for dialling in as low as it wants! Many European countries are still bound by restrictive laws making local e-business and e-commerce activities not as successful as in other regions of the world.
