Tenchus, In that case IBM had no retail as they sold to distribution and they are no entering retail by the direct model. As to calling the direct model not retail, you are wrong, it is retail and it uses the web for the communication path. Mail order is also retail and they use the mail and telephone for the com path.
In essence any sale where the buyer does not present a state sales tax exemption permit is a retail sale no matter how the com path runs.
For example, Kodak has a presence in every state and thus charges the state sales tax where the goods go no matter how they are ordered or delivered(unless an exemption is presented). Gateway does the same.
This thing in Congress where they will not tax the internet does not refer to state sales taxes....that is a state matter and they are collected. Have you ever bought an item over the web from your own state?, you pay sales tax(unless you are in one of those joyous states with no sales tax)
