>with the worldwide market expected to expand to $7.29 trillion by 2004 "worldwide market" defined as the total value of all private business transactions. that's a hell of a definition- and has absolutely nothing to do with the likelihood that those private businesses will give up any significant fraction of their revenue to websites operating cheezy auction software. but if you're trying to sell stock certificates to the public, which after all is the only real reason these reports are published, then it sure does sound good! if AT&T would start reporting "worldwide telephone business to business revenues" in their prospectuses, then we could see some REALLY impressive numbers. like 100 trillion, or basically the entire GDP of planet earth. after that point, forrester will really have to stop adding zero's to their estimates. the numbers will just be silly.
