for the Internet to become Profitable
As presented at The SIMBA Online Conference held at the J.W. Marriott Hotel in Washington, D.C. on November 6, 1995.
1. To become truly universal, it must become less American in its “management”.
2. The Internet network infrastructure must improve so that it degradates less and becomes more efficient.
3. Financial and other “private” transactions must be made secure to everyone’s satisfaction.
4. The U.S. government must allow for the foreign export of the encryption technology necessary to protect Internet transactions.
5. More users with a broader representation of the buying population (i.e., more women) must be present on the Internet.
6. It must become possible to search for information on the Internet across databases or sites rather than one at a time.
7. Payment for services must be electronic and be other than by credit card while at the same time remaining secure.
8. Payments to buyers and sellers on the Internet must be in multiple currencies.
9. PC’s must become more like appliances in order to dramatically grow the Internet user base.
10. More business-to-business services must move to the Internet.
