The results are mixed, but surveys suggest that things are going to be great for a while.

“The Jupiter report calls for US online retail sales to grow by 16% in 2007, reaching $116 billion.

After next year, however, Jupiter predicts that the growth rate of online retail sales will begin to decline, falling to single-digit increases of 9% in 2010 and 8% by 2011.”
