Slightly more than six in ten of the companies surveyed this week at the Treasury Management Association conference currently have or are in the process of setting up an intranet. And 78% of firms are already providing their employees with access to the Internet, up 20% over last year's American Express/TMA Flash Poll. Sixty-one percent of the more than 300 treasury management professionals participating in this year's survey, which was developed by American Express and conducted by Louis Harris & Associates, said their companies were establishing intranets, which are proprietary, internal computing networks based on the Internet model, but offering faster and more secure data transfers.
The leading activities their employees are using intranets for include e-mail (68%), document-sharing (55%) and internal communications (45%). Other applications include electronic forms distribution (38%), posting of personnel policies and job openings (22%), access to product information (22%), and travel bookings or access to policy (7%). Internet uses include many of the same activities: Access to information/research (73%) and e-mail (68%) led the way, followed by sales and marketing of a company's products or services (42%). Other growing activities include access to travel information and bookings (10%) and on-line business-to-business shopping an
The Clinton administration is telling the cyber world: No new federal taxes on the Internet. In a 46-page policy report Thursday, the Treasury Department said its guiding policy on taxing electronic commerce was neutrality. ``Neutrality rejects the imposition of new or additional taxes,'' it declared. The report goes on to discuss a range of difficult questions surrounding the rapid growth of electronic commerce, not the least of which is: If a transaction occurs in cyberspace, where does
Net boxes are based on a RISC processor that has been optimized for the tasks involved in connecting to a Web site, displaying an HTML page, and performing basic navigation and display functions. A minimum number of other components, including a network interface or modem, round out the basic structure of many net boxes. Net boxes have been designed to serve two basic markets and to meet two basic needs:In the home market, net boxes make it easy for a user to connect to the Internet in the comfort of a person's living room, bedroom, or wherever the TV set happens to be. In the corporate environment, net boxes typically function as an intranet terminal, enabling users to process HTML pages, send and receive e-mail, and process Java applications, including scaled-down but still fairly feature-rich tools such as word processors and spreadsheets.
Installation and setup can be about as much a no-brainer as plugging your new TV into an electrical outlet or connecting a telephone cord. The home net box, with prices generally ranging from $300 to $500, requires just a few capabilities:It must be able to connect to an Internet server provider, display HTML pages on a display (usually a TV set), and interact with the provider to send URLs and receive Web pages. Given these requirements, a net box could take many forms. In addition to a box that connects to a TV set, phones with digital displays and the ability to connect to and browse the Web, or even wristwatches with large displays, could some da
In a keynote address given at COMDEX this morning, Netscape's president and chief executive officer Jim Barksdale communicated Netscape's vision for the Net in 1997 "We are entering the third wave of the Internet, where electronic mail and groupware with all the richness of the Web are key elements of computing," said Barksdale. "While the first waves of the Internet focused on users being able to easily find information, the mark of this third wave is that information finds the user. Our new products will have the intelligence to help you focus on the information you care about."

In his keynote address here yesterday, Bill Gates predicted that the PC will gain power, not lose it, in the age of the Internet. Gates' remarks followed Monday's keynote by Intel's Andy Grove, in which the Intel chief said the industry will require more powerful machines that display life-like visuals and audio to compete with TV for consumers attention. Both Gates and Grove, arguably the most powerful figures in the information technology industry, said the Internet will play a pervasive role in enabling new technologies and innovations to reach a broader audience. That theme was carried further Wednesday morning in the keynote address of James Barksdale, CEO of Netscape Communications Corp., and by the 550 companies featuring Internet-related products and services at COMDEX, nearly double last year's number.
Gates predicted that the Internet will also change the relationship between customer and business. Instead of establishing a relationship with, say, a PC company once every two years when someone purchases a new PC, Gates envisions a stream of email customized to the user, and informing him or her about "clip art we've got on our Web site, new templates, usage hints, some updates that we might have available, or even new components that you can just click and have those come down. So there won't be this big one-time event."

Hambrecht & Quist Group (NYSE: HMQ) released a report detailing the local advertising environment on the World Wide Web. The report, entitled "Coming Soon to a Town Near You: The LocalNet," estimates that local ad revenue on the Internet will exceed half a billion dollars in the year 2000.
"We believe the long-term potential of these regionalization efforts is significant, both for locally oriented content developers seeking to attract local advertisers, and content aggregators who can group local sites to make them more attractive to national advertisers trying to reach a local market," said Paul Noglows, Internet analyst at Hambrecht & Quist (H&Q). "The local opportunity should not be understated; if online services capture just 1% of newspapers' $34.5 billion of annual local advertising revenue, that represents incremental Internet advertising revenue of $345 million."
For comparison, the report examines the development of local/spot revenue for cable television dating back to 1980. While local/spot revenue accounted for just $8 million or 14% of total cable advertising revenues or $58 million in 1980, 10 years later, local spot revenue had swelled to $634 million, or 25% of total revenues. As of last year, it accounted for $1.4 billion, or 27% of total advertising revenues of $5.3 billion.
