How Much Information? (HMI)
http://hmi.ucsd.edu/howmuchinfo.php

What is the rate of new information production each year? Who produces the greatest amounts of information annually? Individuals? Enterprises? Public organizations? And how does growth in North America compare with information growth in other geographies, markets, and people globally? To answer these questions and others, a new How Much Information? (HMI) research program is underway. An updated and expanded study of information growth, conducted by a multi-disciplinary, multi-university team supported by corporate and foundation sponsorship, will complete an update of the 2003 Berkeley report by the end of the year. The 2008 report will be the first in a three-year research program, sponsored by seven companies, AT&T, Cisco, IBM, LSI, Oracle, Seagate and the Palo Alto Research Center (PARC), and spanning three research universities, UC San Diego, MIT and UC Berkeley. The co-principal investigators of the program are Roger Bohn and James Short of UC San Diego. This has been added to Internet Demographics Subject Tracer™ Information Blog.
