Online censor attempt clarifies murky depths

Article Abstract:

The Broadcasting Services Amendment bill, sponsored by Australian Senator Richard Alston, is designed to to eliminate "objectionable" material from the Internet, but it is unlikely to do so. The bill is too vague in its wording; exclusion of content from the Internet is difficult; and Internet service providers and the business community argue that free access to content is essential to their livelihood. Rather, the bill will bring to the public's attention that such material is easily available on the Internet.

McKinsey and the three stages of existence

Article Abstract:

George Riedel and Tracy Francis developed a business model and conducted a research analysis of the market capitalization of online retailer Amazon.com Inc. To justify the market valuation using the model, Amazon needs to increase customer value from $200 million to $13.7 billion by expanding its customer base from 6.2 million to 78 million, with each customer spending $500 a year. Riedel and Francis estimated that by 2005, the average American will spend $2754 a year on the items that Amazon sells.
