Not only that, all e-commerce companies could go away and yet the web be very successful (for example, as source of technical documentation and manuals for any product you buy, thus saving printing costs).



Alomex,

This is already being done and is likely heare to stay. Many of my suppliers are placing their entire catalogues on the web. This way discontinued items may be easily removed and new items added. The cost savings is huge. The problem presently is the slower than panned broadband roll out. The catalogues are not viable using dial-up.

Also, online ordering using B2B is here to stay. Broadband is required. The fulfillment is no different than the prior telephone or fax ordering. It works and is cost effective. Keep in mind a package for $50 is not going to a house. We are talking packages of many thousands of dollars going to a business.
