True, note the stats I quoted still growing at 30% per year, which is great, but a huge drop from 48%. The trend is not good.
Also note that the BBC quote is not absolute growth, but "slice of the pie":
The report by research body Forrester said online adverts would leap to 18% of market share, up from 9% currently.
(my emphasis added)
This stat could just as easily mean "online ad spending isn't slowing as quickly as other categories."
