¹ The most recent data is available at http://www.ris.org/si/.[UP]
² In what follows we shall attempt to understand the term "internet user" only in the sense of users who use the Internet at least once a month.[UP]
³ We should stress again that this is only to do with individuals and not households.[UP]
⁴ Other addresses are mainly from domains .com, .net, .org.[UP]
⁵ Shares are calculated out of population 15 to 65 years old (RIS) or 18 to 70 years old (SJM). We should stress that RIS surveys were performed through telephone interviewing whereas SJM (Slovenian Public Opinion) surveys were performed in person on a one to one basis, so there are slight differences between the data. Because of sample error, confidence intervals (5%) are in general as wide as 10% more than the actual value estimated.[UP]
⁶ Although other factors such as capital and profit made are taken into consideration when officialy classifying the size of a company, mainly large companies have more than 250 people employed, medium-sized companies 50 to 250 and small companies under 50.[UP]
⁷ IMPORTANT: Included are only companies with more than 5 employees.[UP]
⁸ The results of RIS98 school institutions survey are already available on the Internet (www.ris.org).[UP]
