The editors of Practical eCommerce magazine asked me these five questions for their November package on the future of eCommerce.
-
Skype, wireless Internet, cheap broadband access, cell phones. How does the explosion in communication technology affect ecommerce businesses?
-
How does an ecommerce owner balance the offering of services, such as video, that require a decent amount of broadband against the reality that many consumers (and, potential customers) still use dial-up Internet access?
-
How will consumers access the Internet five years from now?
-
What new communication technologies do you foresee? How will they affect ecommerce business?
-
Other thoughts on the future of communication technologies relative to ecommerce firms?
What do you think?
