This sector's barrier is regional dependencies. Whereas in the SF Fin. Dist. and Silicon Valley, you have tech-biz professionals with severe time-constraints, and an open-mindedness to 'new-fangled ways of doing doing old-fashioned things'. Back in 'Joe Six-Pack America' you still have households who prefer to pick out their own cukes in the produce aisle. "How's it play in Peoria?" and "Can ya get enough profit out of a few isolated populations who 'think different' from the rest of the country?" are the burning questions. Per your profile, we're in the same area. It's acceptable. Grandmas, uncles, and aunts, back in Illinois or Colorado aren't ready for this yet. Too much trust has to be placed in this 'new innernit thingie'. Needs about 2-3 more years, IMO. ____________________________________________________________________ “…doesn't mean that WBVN will blow up, or that the internet-grocery business is invalid. I personally don't want to invest in it, but I think that this sort of service is in demand and once someone can come up with a viable business model, it will do very well.”
