PART 2 OF 2
======================================================================
Now, let us take a look at eBay , the popular Internet auction company. Apparently, they have lots of computers, such as www.ebay.com, toys.ebay.com, baseball.ebay.com, etc. The point of this exercise is to show that eBay has extensive resources for handling electronic commerce, while millionaire.com uses an ISP that provides Web services to dozens of small businesses. The question then becomes, how can millionaire.com proclaim that it will be a huge e-commerce venture, given the limited facilities at its disposal? It's very easy to create Web pages, and there are hundreds of thousands of personal home pages on the Web, but there are not as many outfits set up to do heavy e-commerce, and millionaire.com isn't one of the big players.
