Commercial Applications on the Internet
- Keynote Speech
- Ronald G. Dunn
-- President, Information Industry Association
9:45 AM - 10:30 AM
- Growing numbers of companies are aggressively using the Internet for
commercial purposes, including direct selling of goods and services,
advertising, and efficient distribution of information and software,
both externally and internally. However, many other companies are
skeptical about the commercial potential of the Internet, and still
others are adopting a wait-and-see attitude. Conflicting reports
abound about the current level, the growth rate, and potential of
commercial Internet activity.
Will the Internet prove to be one of those much discussed and greatly
feared "paradigm shifts," or is it just another interesting but
ultimately manageable new channel for distribution for information
products and services?
Mr. Dunn will examine both commercial applications of the Internet
that are actually producing real profits in the form of revenue
streams or cost savings, and the technological, legal, and human
factors that will determine the ultimate potential of the Internet as
a business medium for information products and services.
