(puff, puff) While doing a little R&D on the term "disintermediation", which, of course, is what doing biz over the 'net does (cuts out the "middlemen" ( women?))..I found this article titled " The Future of Business everyone on earth will be on the net within 30 years". While I am sure we are hoping sooner, it's a tremendous abstract on the conducting business over the 'net.

intnet.net

An excerpt:

2 - THE STRUCTURE AND OPERATION OF BUSINESS
The virtual firm will be the norm. Video telepresence will
overcome the current problems with telecommutting. Fewer and fewer
firms will have any need to create major clusters of offices in
expensive central city sites. Only research facilities, storage
services and retail outlets for daily necessities will be common.
You can already order groceries and home delivered pizza on
the net. With telepresence facilities, you will be able to choose
the specific bunch of carrots you want. Need I say more.
3 - INFORMATION COST AND AVAILABILITY
The price is dropping to the point where most basic
information will be free. Custom research and intelligent reporting
and analysis will cost money.
The availability of information is increasing so rapidly that
soon almost anything known will be net accessible. Secrets, based
on technical knowledge, are going to get very hard to keep.
4 - INTERNATIONAL TRADE
The existence of specialized overnight delivery systems which
reach around the globe, combined with world wide networking will
make most business a net based affair. Who really wants to travel
to another business site to place an order or look a product when
you can do it conveniently and virtually from your own office.
