Rande Is, et al: B-2-B Commerce The other sector, aside from broadband, that is getting a lot of favorable press is B-2-B commerce. I divide B-2-B into two distinct components: the portals themselves and the companies that provide the software and internet "backbone" for the portals and the B-2-B transactions. I am not conversant with the major players and only a few names come to mind: portals: VerticalNet; Chemdex software/backbone: Ariba; Active Software; Calico Commerce (upcoming IPO) Could you (Rande Is) and some of the thread readers list or mention which other companies are major players in this sector? I think this will be the other place to invest over the remainder of 1999 and 2000. Many thanks.
