Last week the Ballarat Courier published a piece citing a Price Waterhouse Coopers study showing that Ballarat businesses have the potential to unlock $39,000 worth of economic growth per business just by getting online and streamlining their procurement through the digital economy.

As a newcomer to Ballarat, I can vouch for this study - it is a source of amazement how many excellent domain names have not yet been snapped up by local businesses.
With the coming of the NBN to Ballarat, this is a unique opportunity to get in on the ground floor of what should be a growth industry.
