• Internet Enabled New Business Opportunities

  • Multi-Media Streaming - Broadband is saturating "the last mile" to laptops and desktops in every home, office and even the coffee shops of 3rd world countries. This lays the ground work for whole new businesses. Those with quality digital content and the ability to reliably and scalably stream it through the Internet are positioned to win in their market.

    
    

  • Online Communities - The ubiquity of the Internet has enabled geographically dispersed individuals to communicate and rally around a common interest in real-time. Enthusiasts of every hobby and professionals of every profession have online "gathering" places where they share information.

    
    

  • Software as a Service (ASP) - Traditionally, software functionality is "licensed" for to the end-user. The Internet now offers a platform on which that functionality can be developed. Thus was born the Application Software Provider, or ASP. Many software companies (Independent Software Vendors or ISV’s) are becoming ASP’s by rewriting their software for the web and offering a service level agreement (SLA) rather than a license.
