The Future of Wireless Mobile Commerce
Mobile commerce (m-commerce) would seem to have an almost unlimited potential. Considering projections that over one billion users will possess PDAs or other devices equipped for wireless data by 2004, the attraction of selling to this group is high, but Computer Economics recommends taking a realistic view of m-commerce in light of the technological and cultural issues that must be resolved before sales can take off.

Seven new top-level domains (TLD) go live fall 2001. These new Internet addresses will complicate the lives of IT managers--especially those whose companies are e-commerce merchants.

Top-Level Domains Challenge IT Managers (Apr 2001)
If they have not started beforehand, by June 2001 many IT managers will be thinking frequently about top-level domains (TLD). Among the causes for their increased concern will be seven recently approved TLDs, more use of country suffixes, copyright protection, and the growing trend toward domain names in foreign languages. All of these events will require more effort to maintain control over the increased complexity of Internet usage.

Seeking the Key to Successful B2B Collaboration (Dec 2001)
The driver for B2B collaboration, despite numerous obstacles and failures, is simple to appreciate: the payoff from these efforts is significant increases in revenues during the period of 2002 through 2006. Furthermore, these returns are independent of company size. Large companies can gain through such collaborations by means of establishing exchanges with suppliers and business partners that can generate revenues themselves, along with reduced costs, increased efficiencies, faster times to market, and improved product quality. Small companies, on the other hand, can benefit from participating in exchanges through entry into markets that they could not penetrate on their own.

The European Union’s Privacy Initiatives (Jul 2000)
As the concern for privacy increases, governments around the world are working on legislation or have formed cross-border task forces to deal with privacy issues. We expect that the outcome of international privacy efforts will take several years to unfold and even longer to be implemented on a global basis. We also expect that national laws regarding privacy will continue to evolve around the world.

Employee Email and Internet Use Policies
Employees increasingly use email and the Internet while at work, both for work related purposes and frequently for personal use as well. The inability to distinguish between work and non-work related usage is sometimes problematic, and potentially exposes businesses to liability for a variety of claims from employees themselves, from clients, or even from third parties. Employers should be aware of the potential risks and of the measures that may help to decrease their exposure.
