More info on the Business to Business model ANYI is using for its websites from Ahead of the Street... Industry analysts have reported that small and medium sized businesses represent a potential market of over seven million customers in the U.S., and use of the Internet by this market segment is expected to grow substantially from its current low penetration level. According to MIT professor of management and economics, Dr. Lester Thurow, "Business-to-business sales are apt to be the biggest growth area on the Internet. Increasingly, big corporations will buy components and services from small and medium enterprises using Internet technologies. Small and medium enterprises will have to use Internet technologies to really become fast on their feet as opposed to just assuming that they are fast on their feet because they are small." IDC estimates that Web Site Hosting revenues generated from small and medium sized businesses in the U.S. will grow from $217 million in 1997 to over $3.4 billion in 2000, representing 95% of the total Web hosting market, a 150% compound annual growth rate. Furthermore, Forrester Research's most recent report predicts Internet Web server hosting services will grow to over $10.5 billion by 2002. In recent market research, IDC reports the amount of commerce conducted over the World Wide Web will top a staggering $1 trillion by 2003. According to IDC, the number of users who make purchases over the Web will jump from 31 million in 1998 to more than 183 million in 2003. Furthermore, there is ample opportunity to expand on the 183 million as it will represent only 36% of all Web users. "Because of the increase in the number of people who make purchases over the Web, the growth of the average transaction size, and the adoption of the Web as a viable vehicle for business procurement, Internet commerce will grow substantially," said Carol Glasheen, director of primary research and market models at IDC.
