Global Business Centre (English): San Francisco Bay Area Resources
|
|
San Francisco might as well be considered as "Ground Zero" for the Internet, not only because of Silicon Valley being a part of the Bay Area, but the City itself. It is a major market hub for Web publishing, design, advertising, marketing and commerce. In 1997 the City had over 400 companies employing 35,000 professionals in the interactive media business, with local turnover of $2.2 B (figures from the government offices). We've made this special page about the Bay Area just to show how far the Internet can penetrate into daily life.
