US: 500 Millionen USD Schaden durch Clinton/Video 
 
Die versuchte Hinrichtung Bill Clintons vermittels 
Information durch die Allianz der Spermajäger im US-Kongress 
dürfte der US-Wirtschaft einen Schaden von etwa halben 
Milliarde Dollar durch entgangene Produktivität zugefügt 
haben. Die hohe Zahl von 2 Millionen Zugriffen auf das Video 
im Netz - trotz paralleler Ausstrahlung im TV - erklärt sich 
simpel dadurch, dass an einem Montag um 9.00 morgens 
(Eastern) sehr viele User Zugriff auf das Netz, nicht aber 
auf die private TV/Kiste haben. 
Das dazu passende Textdokument wird gar auf 25 Millionen 
Downloads eingeschätzt.

SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE) via NewsEdge Corporation -- The 
cost to businesses in lost employee productivity from the 
Internet broadcasts of the Starr reports is in excess of 
$450 million over the last two weeks, according to a new 
study.  
 
This figure includes both Starr's written report to congress 
and the President's video deposition before the Grand Jury.  
 
Conducted by NetPartners Internet Solutions Inc. of San 
Diego, the study warns actual costs to businesses could be 
much higher, resulting from increased strain on network 
resources slowing access speeds and causing computer down 
time. Support time to resolve issues from unauthorized 
installations of software to download and view the reports 
represent significant additional costs as well.  
 
"This one event demonstrates the enormous potential costs 
and risks of unmanaged Internet access for employers," said 
Cleve Adams, NetPartners vice president of sales and 
marketing. "Add into this the daily temptations to visit 
other non-work related Internet sites, and you see why 
businesses of all sizes are so eager to implement Internet 
access management systems."  
 
The numbers are based on the estimated 25 million downloads 
of the written Starr report plus an additional 2 million 
downloads of the video testimony over the Internet. It is 
estimated that half of all downloads came from the 
workplace, for a workplace viewership of 13.5 million. Using 
an average employee cost of $35 per hour, and an average 
view time of one hour, the total cost to employers is $470 
million in lost productivity.
