>>why is it that the traditional retailers and communications companies have taken such a back seat in on-line business? They didn't get it early enough, and the Internet developed so quickly. Big companies take forever to react to change. Even Time-Warner who was so early (Pathfinder) created a model like it's magazine business, which hasn't worked. The Internet is a communications exchange, not a publishing medium. The media establishment is used to one-to-many communications.
