![]() ![]() The majority of our business is absolutely with our major customers the telecommunications and computer companies. We only do a small amount of selling to consumers over the Web. It's really impacted every single one of those aspects.īut today what I want to do is to focus on our lessons over the last year in how we relate to our customers, how we service our customers through the Web, very much from a business-to-business context. In Intel's case, it's really affected every single part of the company through design, manufacture, and how we service our customers and deal with our customers. So this torrent of information and content and opportunity is obviously carrying on.įor companies like Intel and I'm sure for your companies, it represents an incredible, an unavoidable challenge about how you change your business models to react to it and to take advantage of it and not to be the victim of somebody else's URL. In Japan alone in the last seven months, Japanese figures are five million Japanese people came onto the Web. And, of course, we've got Asia, which is coming on stream incredibly fast. And most conservative projections are that the Web population in western Europe will be bigger than the Web population in North America. You've got this explosion taking place in northern Europe now on the Web. Now, that's after America has come on the Web. In the month where 30 percent of all stock transactions took place on the Web, I was particularly struck by yesterday's Wall Street Journal and the front page article that said there are more than 145,000 pages, just about Pamela Anderson Lee.Ĭontent isn't so much the problem, or certainly massive content. So wind the clock forward five years and, you know, we all have our Internet staggering statistic de jour. And so we did a demonstration of this cable modem with Mosaic. But it was very difficult to find any content other than academic content and scientific content.Īnd we actually found a site in Texas that claimed to sell flowers. And so we thought, maybe we can display this thing on the World Wide Web going really fast on a cable modem. And so we were looking around for something to demonstrate. But there wasn't any video on demand to be able to display the cable modem. And we wanted to capture this video and try and get it into the PC instead of into the T.V., which we kind of naively thought of as competition. You may remember this.Īnd the idea was that there would be interactive T.V. ![]() And we'd really done it to take advantage of what everybody then was pumped up about, which was video on demand. ![]() Intel had developed a cable modem five years ago. That was less than five years ago.Īnd I remember almost exactly five years ago giving a demonstration of a cable modem. ![]() And to take your minds back just five years, it's less than five years, it's about four and three-quarter years ago, here in L.A., that the helicopter was going along on top of the freeway where O.J.'s white Bronco was cruising along. And many of them worked on the introduction of the Pentium® III processor.įive years ago is really a very, very short period of time. Those companies, incidentally, Intel is an investor in many of them. And we're going through and we working all of our fundamental processes in our organizations, up to and including our very business model.īut if you think about those companies that were up here in the video earlier on, most of those companies actually were created within the last five years. Then there are the rest of us whose businesses were established before the Web that are working to be reborn or reengineered on the Web. Those are the companies that have been set up inside of the last five years explicitly to take advantage of the Internet and the World Wide Web. Some companies go a bit further than that and they are born on the Web. I guess you are here because you are born to be wired.
