There is little question that the number of home users accessing the Internet via broadband will continue to grow. By the end of 2002, the Yankee Group has estimated, 16 million broadband subscribers will be online in the United States, in addition to 54 million dial-up users. And widespread adoption of high-speed access is expected to change both the shopping habits of consumers and the selling strategies of e-tailers.

Hi,
Re: Trinidad, see Miller and Slater's (2000) book 'The Internet: An Ethnographic Approach, published by Berg in Oxford, which looks explicitly at the evolution of e-commerce in Trinidad.

Hi,
I am no authority on ecommerce but can point you to a good source:
"Blown to Bits" by Philip Evans & Thomas S. Wurster, Harvard Business School Press.
Have studied parts of this as part of an Open University (UK) course. It's a little dry but has some relevant material.
