(puff, puff) While doing a little R&D on the term "disintermediation", which, of course, is what doing biz over the 'net does (cuts out the "middlemen" ( women?))..I found this article titled " The Future of Business everyone on earth will be on the net within 30 years". While I am sure we are hoping sooner, it's a tremendous abstract on the conducting business over the 'net. intnet.net An excerpt: 2 - THE STRUCTURE AND OPERATION OF BUSINESS The virtual firm will be the norm. Video telepresence will overcome the current problems with telecommutting. Fewer and fewer firms will have any need to create major clusters of offices in expensive central city sites. Only research facilities, storage services and retail outlets for daily necessities will be common. You can already order groceries and home delivered pizza on the net. With telepresence facilities, you will be able to choose the specific bunch of carrots you want. Need I say more. 3 - INFORMATION COST AND AVAILABILITY The price is dropping to the point where most basic information will be free. Custom research and intelligent reporting and analysis will cost money. The availability of information is increasing so rapidly that soon almost anything known will be net accessible. Secrets, based on technical knowledge, are going to get very hard to keep. 4 - INTERNATIONAL TRADE The existence of specialized overnight delivery systems which reach around the globe, combined with world wide networking will make most business a net based affair. Who really wants to travel to another business site to place an order or look a product when you can do it conveniently and virtually from your own office. (puff, puff) CigarHolder
