Yes it is. New companies to the Internet are not that special, IMO. Just as the telephone redefined the way companies did business, the Internet is a similar appliance. But it is available to all and there are deminishing barriers to using it as new tools proliferate and people get trained and oriented toward it. It goes beyond the telephone, TV or print media (in many ways is the combination of all three). Competition on the Internet is in it's infancy. An interesting survey of IS excutives was reported recently: The largest area of expenditure this year is for Y2K remediation and testing. But when asked what the plans are for next year and after, executives said that the Internet and ecommerce would be by far the number one priority and expenditure. Five years from now the competitive landscape will look entirely different.
