Les, re: "B2B sites revenues are going to be a small fraction of the gross margin of these transactions for the sellers IMO." I totally agree. Think the crap in the press may be why the public has fantasies about the B2B technology providers. In simplistic terms, to me B2B means replacing current methods using Fax, telcom and mail for B2B commerce. It also automates things like inventory control, forecasting and product planning. When Intel and Dell claim 50% of their business is now done on the internet I assume this is what they mean. Revenues for providers of B2B technology are a different cut of cloth.
