technology with internet supply chain mgmt levels the field
the competitive field has been leveled in real time
that article last week pointed it out clearly
I saved it and its main premise has been on my mind
the beneficiary of the level field is consumers
the loser is companies who had decades of experience over charging
their wide fat profit margins are now trimmed
and the capital necessary to fund new equipment purchases will be forever much tighter

gonna be interesting in this New Economy
in 2000 we thought it meant bigtime profits as far as eye could see
but what it delivered is bigtime savings to consumers and smalltime margins to vendors

I believe in commodities, not products and slim margins
