They keep referring to GNET as a mom and pop operation... In fairness to the BusinessWeek writer, he doesn't call GNET or Hypermart mom & pop operations. Rather, he suggests -- accurately I think -- that Hypermart appeals to small businesses. Although I've never really used the site, a cursory glance suggests that it's a cyber version of the strip mall -- a place on the way but far removed from the glitzy downtown department stores (for which amazon.com might be considered a cyber equivalent) and sprawling major malls with their anchor tenants (for which several folks have proposed a cyber equivalent, but no one has delivered yet).
