INTRODUCTION The extraordinary growth of the Internet in the last few years has led some to speak of the birth of a world without borders, a place where free communication, competitive markets, and extensive comparison shopping are a matter of course (see The Economist [1997a] and Hof [1998]). This apparent lack of geography in cyberspace, however, has raised some diflScult problems regarding government policy, especially tax policy, toward the "new" economy.

This model allows Amazon to have millions of different inventories listed for sale without actually having it in inventory since a different manufacturer (who Amazon is partnered with) has it and ships it directly to the consumer. Amazon keeps the most popular inventories on hand, reducing the costs of investing in more capacity for inventory (Fit for the Holidays). Another advantage of this strategy is that Amazon receives the customer’s payment for a product before they have to pay their suppliers, giving them more cash to invest in the company and a high inventory turnover (Amazon.com) (Refer to Appendix A). Amazon also has a very unique supply chain system in place. Instead of using legacy systems they have, “Homemade applications handle nearly every aspect of its supply chain: warehouse management, transportation management, inbound and outbound shipping, demand forecasts, inventory planning, and more” (Bacheldore, Beth).
The credit card device was heavy and awkward and the tissue paper would turn my fingers black. It was also one of the deciding factors in my life of choosing to never use a credit card. It's so much easier to just pay with cash. I was not going to inconvenience my cashier with a credit card.

Other consumers have failed to adopt mobile banking because of the smaller feature set when compared to online banking. Yet another group of consumers have opted out of mobile banking in an effort to avoid transaction fees.
