E-commerce is booming! Broadband Internet
access has finally become mass market in scale. Access by
broadband methods, including DSL, cable modem and satellite,
has now reached critical mass to the extent that more than
40 million American homes now have broadband access. Meanwhile,
broadband access to the Internet has become standard at
most businesses and offices. Cable modem and DSL are battling
fiercely for market share.
On the wireless side, Wi-Fi is enjoying steady growth, with
tens of thousands of public Wi-Fi hotspots now in operation
across the U.S. Advanced Wi-Fi methods, such as WiMax, will
soon become widespread. Bluetooth has gained wide acceptance
for wireless connection of networks to appliances such as
printers, PDAs and cell phones.
The booking of travel online is perhaps the most successful
niche of all of the world's e-commerce efforts. Consumers
use the Internet to become better informed and to seek bargains.
Online sites like Expedia, Priceline and Orbitz steer millions
of consumers toward specific airlines and hotels in a manner
that lowers prices and improves satisfaction among consumers.
Meanwhile, retailers of many types are enjoying soaring
sales via the Internet, and most national retail chains
have carefully developed bricks and clicks strategies that
integrate their online efforts with their stores and catalogs.
At the same time, many online-only retailers are finding
that their revenues are growing rapidly as more and more
consumers begin to rely on the convenience of shopping online.
This carefully-researched book (which includes a database
of leading companies on CD-ROM) is a complete e-commerce
and Internet market research and competitive intelligence
tool-- everything you need to know about the business of
online access, broadband, wireless and Wi-Fi, Internet retailing,
