Here are many available data sets about the Internet in terms of use. This is an area I work in. I consider quantitative to mean measured by numbers. So would think you mean data sets of numbers so Use of the Internet comes to mind. There are OECD data sets, US and Canada and many others. .

Hakikur,
It might be helpful if you were a little more specfic, if you look at the ACM library and arXiv, mathematical approaches to IS have been abundant in recent years. The question is what you mean by "quantitative" - looking at the world through mathematical lenses makes up a very heterogeneous field indeed and there are methods that are very different in scope, direction and applicability. Do you want to study users or properties of information systems? Demographics or use patterns? Static snapshots or evolutionary dynamics? In every case you can find hundreds of papers online.
If you are interested in approaches based in network science I would recommend "The Structure and Dynamics of Networks" by Newman, Barabais and Watts, a collection of seminal papers and empirical applications (not limited to IT tough). A recent paper by Prieur et at. (http://arxiv.org/abs/0802.2317) is, in my view, a great example of exceedingly well done quantitative work.
best, Bernhard
