| 1998 promises to be "the Year of E-Commerce" the year when the buying and selling of goods and services online take off, when small as well as large businesses have access to e-commerce solutions, when online competition heats up for every type of e-product and service, and when increasing numbers of Web-centric businesses come to rely more and more on e-commerce for their revenues. |
| The reasons why? Convenience for the viewer. Cost-effective distribution for the marketer. And the voracious need for income by Web sites still waiting for online advertising revenues to materialize at the desired level. |
| Behind the scenes, new technologies are playing key roles in enabling e-commerce and fueling its explosive growth. This program looked at several of these and how they are transforming the use of the Web for both businesses and their customers. |
