 States Review Commerce Law

A law championed by software companies as key to unleashing the full potential of electronic commerce is under attack from companies and organizations that say it is unfair to consumers and potentially dangerous to businesses.

 

Few web winners seen among European retailers

Few of Europe's big-name retailers will succeed in the still largely money-losing world of Internet commerce, but already some companies are closer to sniffing out profits than others, said a study released on Monday.

  

U.S. web poll finds fear of hackers, government

Last week's hacker attacks on major websites have stoked widespread concern among home computer users and almost half of U.S. online consumers will think twice before sharing credit card data over Internet, a poll released Tuesday found.

  

Latin American E-Commerce Sparks IT Services

Latin America offers a unique set of challenges for professional services like e-commerce and web design, said executives from the information technology consultancy ebrainstorm.

 

 Euro E-Retailing Heats Up

Although e-commerce is becoming increasingly profitable in Western Europe, U.S. companies are grabbing the lion's share of e-retail sales, according to a study published today in London by the Boston Consulting Group.

  

Foreign Shoppers Flock to Canadian Sites

More foreigners shopped on Canada-based online sites during the lucrative Christmas season than local shoppers, according to a survey of Canadian online retailers.

 

 IBM Prods EU About E-Commerce

Leading U.S. companies called on the European Commission yesterday to rapidly redesign the European Union's indirect tax system to eliminate the disadvantage faced by European companies engaging in electronic commerce.

  

Net Tax May Get the Heave-Ho

It's a matter of changing one sentence in existing legislation. But if Congress approves, the threat of Internet taxation could vanish forever. Or at least for Washington's idea of forever.

  

Clinton's national plan a 'good start'

As President Clinton met with high-tech executives and security experts in the White House Tuesday, attendees and industry insiders weighed in on the guidelines the administration intends to follow to secure the nation's electronic infrastructure.

 

 Europeans uninterested in shopping online

Only a small number of Europeans who have access to the Internet actually shop online, according to a survey by a U.S. research firm.

  

State officials look at new rules for e-commerce

The Internet is supposed to defy geographical boundaries, but no one seems to have told that to state governments.

  

$500mil Web Taxes Uncollected

Only 20 percent of the $13 billion in taxable retail goods sold online last year was taxed, leaving $525 million in sales tax money uncollected, a Forrester Research study shows.

  

Cheers for the FTC's E-Commerce Mediation Proposal

Earlier this week the U.S. Federal Trade Commission announced that it is promoting mediation over lawsuits as a means to resolve online disputes between e-tailers and consumers.

 

As Ecommerce Goes International Legal Issues Take The Spotlight

With the explosive growth of e-commerce and the increasing cost and complexity of goods being sold through domestic e-commerce transactions, it is not too soon to consider what legal issues must be reviewed when complex, higher-priced retail goods, such as computer components and systems, automobiles, and the like, are sold internationally through e-commerce.

 

Winery sues over Net sales

A Virginia vineyard is hoping to put a cork on state laws that restrict Internet wine sales by challenging a New York law that makes it illegal for out-of-state wineries to ship to consumers.

 

Deadline looms for Net tax proposals

For the congressional panel studying the Internet tax issue, it's crunch time.

 

EU Aims to Boost Internet Retailing in Europe

European internal market commissioner Frits Bolkestein said on Tuesday the EU needed an all-encompassing Internet strategy to help it catch up the United States in areas such as e-commerce.

 

Electronic Signatures Take Hold in U.S.

The U.S. government and many states are now passing Uniform Electronic Transaction Act
