Chinas Internet industry has clearly become a spectacle and a booming phenomenon in the Chinese society. Since it started in the early 1990s, Chinas Internet industry has grown from a marginal industry into a mainstream and a still rapidly growing industry. When the first commercial Internet network started in 1995 by ChinaNet, there were only 800 subscribers for the first month of operation. From 800 subscribers, the number of Internet users has increased exponentially. It was estimated that the number of Chinese Internet subscribers reached 79.5 million by the end of 2003. This number is expected to grow through the years.
