The Internet had radically impacted just about every aspect of our lives and one would be hard
pressed to identify an industry that this technological revolution has not affected. For publishers,
the Internet has opened up an entirely new and range of opportunities for delivering their
merchandise and for offering an exceptional leap in value to their customers. On show #546C
("Implementing Internet Commerce"), World Business Review examines a new concept in
delivering published materials to the market…using advanced Internet technologies…of course.
Presently, there are quite a few companies that are utilizing the Internet to serve the needs of
publishers and consumers of their goods and services. However, only a handful of these
companies actually deliver downloadable entertainment wares (books, music and movies) on a
one-on-one basis to Internet users. This form of e-business is made possible by the
convergence of high quality audio-visual technology and the interactivity provided by the Internet.
Kanakaris Communications, Inc. delivers books on-line securely, through its proprietary ION
technology, and is actively involved in developing Internet technology to advance the evolution of
music and movie delivery via the Web. Kanakaris is also working to infuse audio and video into
the e-commerce environment, and is creating the first Entertainment/Shopping Channel on the
Internet.
Through its groundbreaking, proprietary technology, Kanararis is now delivering books
electronically to its customers' computers instantaneously. From its Web site, netbooks.com,
Kanakaris delivers the books literally to the reader's fingertips immediately after receiving the
order. The advantage is that not only can the book be read at one sitting, but this delivery format
enables the reader to manipulate text (sizing, font type, etc.), to search an index or the entire
book for content, and to print d portions of the book for subsequent reading.
Alex Kanakaris, CEO of Kanakaris Communications, spoke of the economic impact that this
change is having on publishing, among other industries. "It obviously is very . It puts us
where we want to be, which is the true utilization of the Internet," said Kanakaris. In referring to
the obvious comparisons to amazon.com, arguably the most celebrated outlet for purchasing
published material on-line, Kanakaris said, "People think of amazon (.com) as being the great
Internet book site, but it really isn't. What it is is a huge mail order department, which takes
books that are located in warehouses, printed the traditional way, and on varying lengths of time
gets those books to move from one place to another." He added, "What we're talking about …
at netbooks.com is an electronic true Internet delivery of books so that when someone orders the
book it is quickly delivered and can be utilized fully in an electronic sense."
Panel expert, Vinton Cerf, Co-founder of the Internet and senior vice president for Data
Architecture, Engineering Division, MCI WorldCom Communications, said of netbooks.com, "It
shows up electronically just like anything else you might see on a Web page, except it gets
downloaded or it gets observed on line if you choose to read the book that way." Clearly, this
technology represents a financial revolution for publishers. Cerf said, "What we're seeing is the
new economics of electronic publishing."
Kanakaris was the first to deliver a full-length motion over the Internet with no download
time (in conjunction with XING Technology). Its strategic alliance with ION Systems, Inc. for
proprietary on-line book delivery has strengthened Kanakaris' positioning as the world
downloadable leader delivering powerful entertainment, education and business content.
