Yes, in some respects. But one of the big buzzwords right now is "B2B", "business to business": using the internet to transact with other corporations. The company I work for is brick and mortar, and we are NOT selling a thing over the web, but are using the web to interact with customers, suppliers, and distributors in ways that were formerly handled by fax machines, snail mail, and phone calls. This may be the next wave Jordan mentioned.
