Business-to-business e-commerce may be where the money's at, as businesses may be a lot less fickle than consumers -- hence barriers will be easier to erect.

Additionally, business commerce can encompass many more products than consumer e-commerce. Consumers won't buy groceries over the net, but grocery stores may interact with distributors or manufacturers over the net.

The real money may be in charging business to get online. But what's stopping Yahoo from doing this for free in order to get page views up?
