Business aviation and services company Gama Aviation has been approved by the US DOT to operate unrestricted commercial flights between the European Union and the US following its award of full FAA Part 129 accreditation. The authorization goes into effect immediately.

Obtaining FAA Part 129 status to operate unrestricted commercial flights between the EU and USA is one of the most challenging approvals for commercial operators. Gama Aviation, now in its 29th year, envisages increasing demand from its client base for transatlantic services and deemed it essential to invest in fulfilling the strict operational requirements that necessitate FAA Part 129 accreditation.

Gama Aviations success in achieving FAA Part 129 approval means that we can offer a heightened service to our customers, ensuring that whether they are booking a flight with Gama in the US or Gama in Europe, they will benefit from consistently high standards, privacy, discretion and hassle-free travel arrangements, wherever their business or leisure activities may take them, said Paul Cremer, Commercial Manager at Gama Aviation.

NEW YORK The Internet contributes more to the American economy than the entire federal government, according to a new study by the Boston Consulting Group.

The Internet accounted for $684 billion, or 4.7% of all U.S. economic activity in 2010, Boston Consulting Group found. By way of comparison, the federal government, contributed $625 billion, or 4.3%, to the nations output.

If it was considered its own separate industry, the Internet would also be larger than Americas education, construction or agricultural sectors.

In the retail sphere alone, e-commerce accounted for 5% of U.S. sales in 2010.

All businesses are increasingly digital and need to think about how to take advantage of these opportunities, said Dominic Field, a BCG partner and co-author of the report. And for policymakers, we would hope they recognize the importance of Internet growth and making sure their countries are taking advantage of these opportunities.

As a share of gross domestic product, only three countries have larger Internet economies: the United Kingdom, South Korea and China. The U.S. is tied with Japan.

Boston Consulting Group predicts the Internet will grow about 10% a year through 2016 in the Group of 20 nations. It will grow nearly twice as fast in emerging markets as in developed economies, with Argentina and India accounting for the fastest growth, the study said.

The U.S. is relatively mature as an Internet economy, whereas some of the developing economies are further behind so their growth rates are higher, Field said.

ROCHESTER, Mich., March 21, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Jonathan Gregory, a 23-year-old entrepreneur and marketing prodigy, creates an Internet marketing agency rated in the top 1% by Elance, the world's leading platform for online employment. Gregory's Internet marketing agency, The Third Agency, specializes in professional Google AdWords campaign management and strategy development.

Internet marketing remains the frontier to conquer for companies planning to grow their business and generate more sales. Jonathan Gregory, a 23-year-old entrepreneur, is one of the few young minds to pioneer and harness the power of this complex market, quickly growing his Internet advertising agency to one that's rated in the top 1% by some of the world's leading companies.

The Third Agency, the marketing company founded by the 23-year-old, specializes in developing and managing online advertising campaigns using Google's flagship Internet advertising platform, Google AdWords. The agency provides professional services to companies and firms that want to drastically expand the reach of their marketing efforts and generate more sales, creating highly customized AdWords campaigns that effectively display client advertisements to the more than 600 million people that use Google on a daily basis.

When asked about the benefits of The Third Agency's services, Gregory was very knowledgeable and clear on his position. "The beauty of Internet advertising, particularly cost-per-click, is that the required risk for our clients is extremely minimal and the type of advertising we provide usually ends up paying for itself. Our clients can almost immediately see a return on their investment without experiencing the added risk of tying up large amounts of capital. Our clients only pay when potential customers view and click on their advertisements, resulting in a highly effective way of reaching new customers and generating additional sales," Gregory stated. "There aren't many advertising methods in the world of marketing that are as effective and known to produce profitable results as well as Internet advertising through Google AdWords."

Gregory doesn't just talk the talk. The Third Agency is rated among the top 1% in the world for professional Internet marketing services according to Elance, receiving a perfect score on Elance's extensive Internet marketing exam. Elance remains the world's largest platform for finding qualified professionals who work online from all corners of the globe, making this accomplishment extremely difficult to achieve. Successful placement within the top percentile in a highly competitive, globalized industry like Internet advertising is a notable feat for any advertising agency, especially one headed by a 23-year-old. In less than one year, Gregory has managed to rapidly grow The Third Agency into a worthy competitor amongst some of the greatest in Internet advertising. It's like training less than a year for the Olympics and taking home the gold. It just doesn't happen.

The Third Agency is an international, award-winning Internet marketing agency that specializes in professional Google AdWords campaign management, Internet advertising campaign development and AdWords consulting services. http://www.thethirdagency.com

Turns out, Internet ranks higher than NYC staples like coffee, bagels, taxi rides even air conditioning!

5 Boroughs, 5 DevicesNew York households have an average of 5 devices connected to the Internet.

NYC Essentials: Connectivity vs. CoffeeIf they had to choose one thing to live without New Yorkers would give up their coffee (32%) and good bagels (30%), but almost nobody would give up fast Internet (3%).

Better a Blackout than Being OfflineIn case of severe weather, more New Yorkers would miss the Internet (26%) more than the lights (12%), TV (15%), or the fridge or freezer (12%).

Cut Budgets, Keep Internet If they had to cut back, New Yorkers would give up taxi rides (80%), magazines (63%) and even their cell phone service (14%) at higher rates than they're willing to cut back on Internet service (7%).

The City That Never Sleeps is Always OnlineNew Yorkers spend the day with the Internet. Two-thirds (67%) of New Yorkers use the Internet at home in the evening, half use it late at night (52%) or at home doing work during the day (51%) and four in ten New Yorkers use the Internet as soon as they wake up (43%).

Movies: In Line or Online?Although half of all New Yorkers (51%) would wait for 15 minutes to see a movie in a theater; only two in ten (18%) would wait 15 minutes to download a movie online.

MVP: Most Valued PresentThree times as many New Yorkers would want a game console that connects to the Internet (18%) than a puppy (6%) as a gift.
