INTRODUCTION

PLUNKETT'S E-COMMERCE & INTERNET BUSINESS ALMANAC is designed as a general source for researchers of all types. The data and areas of interest covered are intentionally broad, ranging from the various types of businesses involved in e-commerce and the Internet, to technologies and access providers, to an in-depth look at the major firms (which we call “THE ECOMMERCE 500”) within the many sectors that make up the e-commerce and Internet industry, including technology, services, retailing, telecommunications and much more. This reference book is designed to be a general source for researchers. It is especially intended to assist with market research, strategic planning, employment searches, contact or prospect list creation and financial research, and as a data resource for executives and students of all types. PLUNKETT'S E-COMMERCE & INTERNET BUSINESS ALMANAC takes a rounded approach for the general reader. This book presents a complete overview of the e-commerce and Internet field (see “How To Use This Book”). For example, the impact of the Internet upon retail sales is discussed in exacting detail, along with easy-to-use tables on all facets of the Internet in general, from the types of services involved to names and descriptions of the

divisions and affiliates of the major firms within this industry. THE E-COMMERCE 500 is our unique grouping of the biggest, most successful corporations in all segments of the e-commerce and Internet industry. Tens of thousands of pieces of information, gathered from a wide variety of sources, have been researched and are presented in a unique form that can be easily understood. This section includes thorough indexes to THE E-COMMERCE 500, by geography, industry, sales, brand names, subsidiary names and many other topics. (See Chapter 4.) Especially helpful is the way in which PLUNKETT'S E-COMMERCE & INTERNET BUSINESS ALMANAC enables readers who have no business background to readily compare the financial records and growth plans of e-commerce companies and major industry groups. You’ll see the mid-term financial record of each firm, along with the impact of earnings, sales and strategic plans on each company’s potential to fuel growth, to serve new markets and to provide investment and employment opportunities. No other source provides this book’s easy-tounderstand comparisons of growth, expenditures, technologies, corporations and many other items of great importance to people of all types who may be

conducting in-depth research, should contact the specific corporations or industry associations in question for the very latest changes and data. Where possible, we have listed contact names, toll-free telephone numbers and Internet site addresses for the companies, government agencies and industry associations involved so that the reader may get further details without unnecessary delay.

studying this, one of the fastest growing industries in the world today. By scanning the data groups and the unique indexes, you can find the best information to fit your personal research needs. The major companies in e-commerce and Internet fields are profiled and then ranked using several different groups of specific criteria. Which firms are the biggest employers? Which companies earn the most profits? These things and much more are easy to find.

•

In addition to individual company profiles, an overview of Internet technology and its trends is provided. This book’s job is to help you sort through easy-to-understand summaries of today’s trends in a quick and effective manner.

Tables of industry data and statistics used in this book include the latest numbers available at the time of printing, generally through mid-2016. In a few cases, the only complete data available was for earlier years.

•

We have used exhaustive efforts to locate and fairly present accurate and complete data. However, when using this book or any other source for business and industry information, the reader should use caution and diligence by conducting further research where it seems appropriate. We wish you success in your endeavors, and we trust that your experience with this book will be both satisfactory and productive.

Whatever your purpose for researching the ecommerce and Internet field, you’ll find this book to be a valuable guide. Nonetheless, as is true with all resources, this volume has limitations that the reader should be aware of: •

Financial data and other corporate information can change quickly. A book of this type can be no more current than the data that was available as of the time of editing. Consequently, the financial picture, management and ownership of the firm(s) you are studying may have changed since the date of this book. For example, this almanac includes the most up-to-date sales figures and profits available to the editors as of early 2017. That means that we have typically used corporate financial data as of mid-2016.

•

Corporate mergers, acquisitions and downsizing are occurring at a very rapid rate. Such events may have created significant change, subsequent to the publishing of this book, within a company you are studying.

•

Some of the companies in THE E-COMMERCE 500 are so large in scope and in variety of business endeavors conducted within a parent organization, that we have been unable to completely list all subsidiaries, affiliations, divisions and activities within a firm’s corporate structure.

•

This volume is intended to be a general guide to a vast industry. That means that researchers should look to this book for an overview and, when

There is a wide variance from company to company. Hot Spot for Advancement for Women/Minorities: A “Y” in appropriate fields indicates “Yes.” These are firms that appear either to have posted a substantial number of women and/or minorities to high posts or that appear to have a good record of going out of their way to recruit, train, promote and retain women or minorities. (See the Index of Hot Spots For Women and Minorities in the back of the book.) This information may change frequently and can be difficult to obtain and verify. Consequently,

Introduction to the E-Commerce & Internet Business

› Video Tip For our brief video introduction to the e-commerce and internet business, see www.plunkettresearch.com/video/ecommerce. The global internet audience continues to grow steadily, with the worldwide base of broadband internet users (including fixed and wireless) in the 3.5 billion range as 2017 began. This vast base of high speed internet users encourages businesses to innovate in order to offer an ever-evolving array of online services. Sectors that are growing very rapidly online include the sale of entertainment products, travel, apparel and consumer electronics. Even groceries have moved into the fast lane, as online grocery sales are growing quickly in the U.S. thanks to a growing list of same-day delivery options. The most powerful trends on the internet include access via wireless devices, the migration of entertainment, including TV programming, to the web and cloudbased software-as-a-service. Today, consumers are more focused than ever on finding the best prices, as consumer attitudes and shopping habits changed dramatically as a result of the 2007-09 recession. Consequently, e-commerce firms that offer high value at consistently low prices are well-positioned to prosper. The standout winner in e-commerce continues to be Amazon, where sales have soared thanks to aggressive discount pricing, free shipping for its “Prime” members and an evergrowing variety of merchandise categories. Amazon’s revenues soared from $34.2 billion in 2010 to $136 billion in 2016. The firm’s sales outside of North America are booming as well, despite the fact that it has major foreign competitors, particularly from relatively new companies based in China. Analysts at eMarketer reported American retail ecommerce sales in 2016 of an estimated $384.9 billion (up significantly from $340.6 billion in 2015). This figure includes online retail sales, travel sales and digital downloads, but not online gambling. Global internet retail sales exceeded $1.92 trillion in 2016, according to eMarketer, and could top $2.35 trillion in 2017. China is posting phenomenal growth

www.plunkettresearch.com

in e-commerce, up by 35.6% in 2016, according to analysts at eMarketer, to a total of $899.1 billion. Euromonitor forecast growth in online travel dollars spent at nearly 8% for 2015, in a broad view of the sector including car rental, hotel rooms, transportation and tourist attraction sales totaling more than $600 billion. The success of new accommodation sharing sites like Airbnb and vacation home rental sites like HomeAway is boosting this trend. China’s ecommerce leaders remain much smaller than global giant Amazon.com Estimated revenues 2016, billions of US$: Amazon $136 bil. Alibaba $15 bil. Tencent $22 bil. Online and mobile advertising in 2016 in the U.S. collectively reached $72.1 billion, according to eMarketer, taking 36.8% of the advertising market. Online advertising is surpassing TV advertising in America. Online leader Google’s recent results are a good indicator of the strong growth in online advertising. The firm saw revenues soar in fiscal 2016, to $90.2 billion. Growth in broadband subscriptions worldwide continues at a strong pace. The number of American homes and businesses with broadband access capabilities topped 106 million by the end of 2016, according to Plunkett Research estimates, thanks in part to modest monthly fees at internet service providers. This number does not include mobile broadband subscriptions, estimated at another 264 million. A significant evolution is taking place in the world of business, as more and more telecommunications services move to the Internet. VOIP (internet-based telephone calls via Voice over Internet Protocol) continues to grow in popularity. Meanwhile, the concept of “unified communications” threatens to completely revolutionize business by combining all communications into one screen on the desktop, including phone, fax, e-mail, instant messaging, voice mail and teleconferencing. Voice communications will be digitized and archived, just as e-mail is today. A user’s communications tools will move seamlessly from the desktop to the mobile device. Convergence: The internet is about saving time (and therefore saving money), as well as eliminating physical and geographical boundaries. The full potential of the internet has barely been tapped. New

methods of taking advantage of online efficiencies are becoming widely accepted, as access to highspeed internet connections becomes commonplace. The long-awaited phenomenon of “convergence” of entertainment, computing and communications arrived around 2004 when enough consumers had subscriptions to fast broadband to create a true mass market and new online service offerings proliferated. The smartphone (and tablet) revolution accelerated this trend. Now, the latest televisions come equipped with built-in internet connections. This is creating radical changes in the way TV viewers obtain their movies and TV programming. For example, subscribers to Netflix are able to stream downloaded movies directly to their internet-connected TV sets. A Brief History of the Online Sector: The ecommerce and internet sector has evolved rapidly, going through several distinct stages since its beginnings in the 1970s: The Internet Is Born: First, there were the early days, when the internet was seen by many as a realm for techies only, one that would produce few, if any, commercial enterprises. Initially designed in 1973, the internet was a series of communication protocols written by Vinton Cerf as part of a project sponsored by the U.S. Department of Defense’s Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). The first demonstration of a three-network internet protocol-based connection occurred in November 1977. Eventually, a well-enabled internet was rolled out in 1983, primarily as a failsafe method of defense communications and as a means for researchers at various universities to communicate. The Web Is Created: Next, the World Wide Web and the coding language of HTML were conceived in 1989 and implemented between 1990 and 1993 by Tim Berners-Lee, enabling a never-ending hyperlinked cyber world where sharing unlimited data became user-friendly thanks to the magic of linked pages. The Boom Ensues: Starting in 1993 and 1994, entrepreneurs and financiers realized that hyperlinked, electronically posted data could be commercialized with vast, global potential. A dramatic revolution in retailing, publishing and entertainment was visualized, one in which consumers and business people alike would eagerly pay for the convenience of online shopping, trading and viewing of published data. An economic boom ensued, the likes of which hadn’t been seen since the beginnings of earlier technological breakthroughs: electricity, the railroad, the telephone, the automobile and the passenger-carrying airliner.

Thousands of hopeful new businesses were launched. Capitalization for these new internetenabled companies ranged from cash-strapped ventures launched in garages with Visa card credit lines, to companies like WebVan that received vast sums from professionally managed venture capital firms only to fail miserably. Roughly 6,000 new firms of significant size raised a cumulative total of more than $100 billion in venture capital in the boom period (1994-2000). About 450 of these companies sold their stock to the public via IPOs (initial public offerings). Stock markets soared and instant billionaires were made, although many of those stocks later plummeted. Venture funds that cashed out early reaped phenomenal gains, and financiers easily found additional investors for new venture capital pools. Companies with little or no sales and profits, led by the success of Netscape’s IPO, found eager buyers for their newly issued stocks. The NASDAQ index of stocks rose to 5,000 by early in the year 2000, and the Chairman of the Federal Reserve warned of “exuberant optimism.” Some said this boom couldn’t last—others said it was the beginning of a “new economy” that would last forever. The Bust: In mid-2000, the internet industry entered a bleak and dreary phase after the NASDAQ collapsed in March, bringing the entire sector to its knees. By October 10, 2002, the NASDAQ was down to 1,108 from a high of 5,132 in March 2000. Hundreds of thousands of people lost their jobs. Stock portfolio values plummeted. Thousands of firms closed their doors, filed bankruptcy, downsized or were scooped up at bargain prices by competitors. Sellers of hardware, software, consulting and telecommunications services suffered mightily. Entrepreneurs found it nearly impossible to raise funds to launch or sustain their businesses. The dream of a “new economy” became a nightmare for some—profits still matter; business cycles still happen. The Reality Phase: By early 2003, this sector’s dark clouds were abating, and a “reality phase” was taking shape. Well-conceived, internet-based businesses were proving their value. Consumers had become devoted fans of buying over the internet. Businesses of all types were finding that the internet creates true operating efficiencies and drives profitability. For example, while most of the airline industry suffered terribly in recent years, value-based discount airlines Southwest and JetBlue enjoyed superior financial performance, in no small part because of their use of e-commerce to efficiently

Plunkett Research, Ltd.

book reservations and sell tickets online. “Efficiency” is the most important factor in the ecommerce and internet sector’s newfound success. Consumers find the internet to be a terrific way to efficiently expend their shopping and banking efforts. Travelers find the internet to be an efficient way to book hotels rooms, flights and rental cars. Consumers of all types use eBay to look for bargains, autotrader.com to look for cars at great prices and iTunes to download music. Corporate procurement managers find the internet to be the most efficient way to purchase needed goods and inventory. Hundreds of millions of people worldwide find email, instant messaging and VOIP telephony to be the most efficient ways to communicate. Low Costs Fuel the Steady Global Growth Phase: Today, access to fast internet, both wired and wireless, is available at bargain prices in a growing footprint across the globe. Even in relatively undeveloped nations, both consumers and businesses have grown to rely on the internet for everyday needs. The level of 3.5 billion internet users worldwide has been exceeded, and the fourth billion is clearly in sight over the mid-term, as inexpensive devices and wireless networks continue to proliferate. Mobile computing is accelerating at blazing speed thanks to moderately-priced smartphones and service plans, offering fast internet access and very advanced features. Meanwhile, the cost of developing and maintaining web sites has plummeted, opening the door to millions of self-funded entrepreneurs, and making it easier for venture capital firms to fund startups using low amounts of cash. Trends such as open software and cloud computing, along with modular software development tools, have made it easier, faster and cheaper to start sophisticated web sites. Bricks, Clicks and Catalogs Create Synergies While Online Sales Growth Surges Analysts at eMarketer reported worldwide ecommerce sales of $1.915 trillion in 2016, up from $1.548 trillion in 2015. This figure includes online retail sales, digital downloads, sales of tickets to events and travel. Global online sales have been supported by very strong results at Amazon.com, largely due to its competitive pricing, expansion of merchandise categories, free shipping for members of its “Prime” service and convenience of use. In 2016, Amazon reached $136 billion in revenues, up from $107 billion in 2015.

Global internet users top 3.5 billion. Several factors will encourage consumers to do more of their shopping online, including the difficulty of getting to and parking at retail stores, the fact that consumers feel pressed for time, the widespread adoption of high-speed internet access, and the fact that the lowest prices can often be found online. Online shopping often goes hand-in-hand with in-store shopping, or at least in-store browsing. A large number of shoppers browse web sites to gain information, later visiting a physical store to make a purchase. The reverse is also often true—many store owners worry that shoppers look at merchandise in their stores and then go home to look for the best possible prices at online sites. Some shoppers add the items that they are considering to their shopping carts on Amazon.com, but don’t click the purchase button. Then they go to retail stores, smartphones in hand, and compare prices and features in the stores to their Amazon lists. If the merchandise looks good in person and Amazon’s price is better, then they may decide to purchase via Amazon, especially if they belong to the Amazon Prime service that provides free shipping. Best Buy successfully countered this practice by matching the prices of online competitors, and emphasizing customers’ ability to see and touch the merchandise in-store, speak to experts in person and take merchandise home immediately. Many of the most successful retail firms of all types will be those that take full advantage of the personal touch of traditional, store-based retailing and combine it with the growing popularity of catalog and internet-based retailing. •

Best Practices for Retailers: Seamless integration of store, catalog and internet-based offerings to consumers, providing choices of 1) place and method of purchase, 2) method of pickup or shipment and 3) place or method of returns, repairs and additional services as needed. Communication of a seamless brand identity and level of service throughout catalogs, retail stores and web sites. Opportunities to offer personalized marketing and service through the use of customer profile data.

Few companies have reached this level of integration of traditional and non-traditional retailing. However, for good examples of companies that are evolving toward such “seamless” strategies, study

Plunkett Research, Ltd.

Costco, Wal-Mart, REI, The Gap, Staples, Saks and Pottery Barn. At Pottery Barn, customers find enhanced flexibility and customer service thanks to the opportunity to shop via the web, Pottery Barn catalogs or Pottery Barn stores. In addition to the millions of catalogs that are mailed every week, Pottery Barn stores hand out copies of the catalogs— which feature the web address of Potterybarn.com, as well as phone ordering options. The point is to create loyalty-inducing convenience for customers, giving them options for purchasing when, where and how they please. In 2016, Hudson Bay Co.’s Saks department store chain opened a new store in lower Manhattan that hopes to incorporate the online shopping experience in-store. The slightly smaller store, called Saks Downtown, focuses on women’s clothing, shoes and accessories. It has more than 1,000 pairs of shoes and 800 pairs of sunglasses on display and is designed with a circular traffic pattern to mimic the seemingly endless supply of items available online. More importantly, staff are carefully trained to use the Saks.com web site to connect with customers, answer their questions, make style suggestions and invite them to come into the store. Wal-Mart offers “Pick Up Today,” a program in which registered Wal-Mart shoppers order items online and then pick them up at their local store the same day. Best Buy has similar services, as do Bloomingdale’s and Macy’s. These shop online but pickup in the store strategies were born because retailers were fighting a practice called “showrooming,” in which shoppers browse for merchandise in stores but buy on rival retailers’ web sites, especially Amazon.com. Amazon not only has a vast selection of items and free shipping for Prime members, its prices are also highly competitive. One caveat in favor of brick and mortar stores is their ability to accept payments in cash. A sizeable number of Americans remain wary of online security and the possibility of identity theft, and they refuse to purchase items online via credit cards, even though they may comparison shop for prices. Also, there are a large number of consumers who are called “underbanked,” that is, who are without bank accounts or credit cards. Wal-Mart offers customers the ability to order items online and then pick them up in stores using cash for payment. Department stores are making a major shift in operations to support online orders. In yet another effort to compete with Amazon.com’s success,

www.plunkettresearch.com

Macy’s converted many of its stores to include expanded storerooms with cutting-edge technology to track inventory and generate shipping labels. Excess store inventory is shifted to highlighted positions on the company’s web site, and merchandise that has sold out at the online distribution center may be found in stores, thereby remaining on the web site for sale and delivery by UPS. Online orders are being filled by stores closest to consumers, increasing efficiency and lowering costs. Macy’s is taking the technology a step further in select stores, where it is displaying merchandise with only one item of each style (instead of cramming the racks with every size available). Shoppers can look at the sample, and then use an app on their cell phones to let staff know what size and style they want to try on. Staff members collect the items from stockrooms and send them to fitting rooms via special hatches. Customers are alerted as to which fitting room is theirs via their phones. The practice allows Macy’s to display more styles and avoid a cumbersome tangle of vast numbers of coat hangers. Some brick and mortar retailers are opting to make selected merchandise available for online purchase only. Shoppers can browse samples in the stores and then place orders on their phones or at instore computer stations. Target tested the concept in 29 stores in 2015. At the same time, a growing number of formerly online-only businesses are opening brick and mortar stores. Examples include women’s clothing site Boston Proper (a subsidiary of Chico’s FAS), Rent the Runway, a dress and accessories rental site and online eyeglass retailer Warby Parker. Likewise, Bonobos (a clothing retailer) has samples in showroom stores but all purchases are made online. Bonobos has opened these “Guideshops” in dozens of major cities across the U.S. Blue Nile (diamond jewelry) has 500-square-foot “web rooms” where customers try on sample rings and then work with a stylist to pick a stone from a selection of 200,000 displayed on the firm’s web site. In many cases, customers may see and try on merchandise, but must browse a computer station or use their smartphones to buy, and the merchandise is delivered to them later. This gives the customer more confidence in the look and feel of the merchandise, while building their trust in the retailer. At the same time, the retailer has many advantages, including the possibility of increasing the average sale, eliminating store inventory and markdown costs, and greatly reducing returns.

Plunkett Research, Ltd.

As more and more people embrace online shopping, brick and mortar retailers must evolve to offer more convenience and speed. Shoppers are spending less time in stores as they prefer browsing on web sites and social media such as Facebook, Pinterest and Instagram. Chico’s FAS reported that customers who once spent two hours in their stores now spend 45 minutes. Prices must transparently match those of competitors, or there may be no sale. SPOTLIGHT: Instant Smartphone Buying A number of companies are implementing technology that allows shoppers to instantly purchase merchandise using their cellphones. ShopThis!, a partnership between MasterCard and Condé Nast, offers digital-edition magazine readers the ability to tap a shopping cart icon to buy items described in articles or featured in advertisements. Peapod, an online grocer that serves areas on the U.S. Northeast and Midwest, has a feature on its mobile app that affords users the ability to scan bar codes on grocery items at home or anywhere, automatically placing the item in the app’s shopping cart, ready for purchase. Another company, Paydiant, is working on technology that will allow TV watchers to scan quick response (QR) codes with their phones directly from their TV sets to buy desired items. 3)

Amazon Continues to Boost Its Market Share The standout winner in e-commerce of late is Amazon, where global sales have soared thanks to aggressive discount pricing and an ever-growing variety of merchandise categories. Amazon’s revenues grew from $89.0 billion in 2014 to $136.0 billion in 2016—50% growth over two years. If the gross value of merchandise sold through the company’s “marketplace” partners is taken into account, sales are nearly double the amounts stated above. (Amazon books only the service fees it charges these marketplace retailers, not the full price of the merchandise sold.) Amazon’s phenomenal growth is a result of excellent corporate strategy plus its competitive pricing and convenience. Shoppers don’t have to drive to a store, thereby saving on gasoline as well as time. Amazon has also diversified to an amazing extent, offering everything from jewelry to appliances to groceries to industrial and scientific supplies. Shipping can be expedited through the Amazon Prime program which, for a modest annual fee, offers unlimited free two-day shipping, the option to upgrade to one-day shipping for a few

www.plunkettresearch.com

dollars and no minimum order size. By late 2016, Amazon Prime had more than 54 million members in the U.S. (these members spend 1.8 times more than the average consumer according to the company). Amazon also offers same-day delivery in areas close to its fulfillment centers. Piper Jaffray reported in late 2016 that the company had a warehouse or delivery station within 20 miles of 44% of the U.S. population, compared to 38% in 2015 and 26% in 2014. Also in 2012, the firm began placing banks of lockers in retailers such as grocery, convenience and drug stores in urban areas. Amazon packages can be placed in these special lockers, so that customers can later pick up packages themselves, using access codes sent by email, instead of trying to be at home to meet delivery by UPS, FedEx or the U.S. Postal Service. Deutsche Post DHL has offered a free locker service in Germany for years. Could the future for Amazon eventually include deliveries by unmanned aerial drones? It’s a far stretch of the imagination. Nonetheless, the firm was testing the concept in late 2013 using drones with a range of 10 miles and a payload of under five pounds (the same as about 90% of Amazon’s deliveries). Drone delivery would be dependent upon cost, technologies, consumer acceptance and shifts in FAA rules regarding unmanned flight. Initial FAA proposed rules for commercial use of drones were issued in February 2015, but they make package delivery unfeasible as operators must stay within sight of the drones. Amazon is also betting on the explosive growth potential in India, where it began operations in 2014. By the beginning of 2016, only about 25% of the people in India had access to the internet at home. However, Morgan Stanley estimated that ecommerce revenue could multiply by a factor of 10 from the 2013 level of $11 billion to reach $137 billion by 2020. To win over customers, Amazon built 4,000 motorbike delivery centers around the country with riders who understand confusing streets and arcane addresses and offers customers the ability to pay in cash when items are delivered. The firm also partners with small shop owners who hold merchandise for pickup for a small fee. 4)

Retailers Offer Expedited Delivery to Compete with Amazon Other retailers are attempting to challenge Amazon’s commanding market share by offering their own version of Amazon Prime and/or same day delivery. A number of retailers including Toys “R” Us, Borders, PetSmart, Barnes & Noble and

Plunkett Research, Ltd.

RadioShack launched ShopRunner, a cooperative shipping service. Like Prime, users pay an annual membership fee for free two-day shipping, free returns and no minimum order size. ShopRunner has participating online retailers including NeimanMarcus, Toys R Us, Cole Haan and The Limited. As for same-day delivery, a handful of retailers are offering the service, despite its challenges. WalMart, for example, has a pickup grocery concept in which customers pickup online orders at drivethrough kiosks and implementing Shipping Pass, an unlimited shipping program similar to Amazon Prime. Wal-Mart recently started relying on dozens of its Supercenters as distribution centers for online orders. Collectively, they handle more than one-fifth of the merchandise purchased on Walmart.com. About one-half of the firm’s online orders are picked up in or delivered from stores. Restoration Hardware Holdings, Inc.’s Lands’ End and Barnes and Noble offer a similar two-day delivery program, also named Shipping Pass. Luxury fashion site Net-a-Porter offers Premier, a same-day delivery service for customers in New York and select locations in New Jersey. eBay subsidiary Shutl is a package-delivery system based in the UK that uses vans and bikes to deliver purchases. In India, Amazon has a domestic competitor called Flipkart. Flipkart is India’s largest ecommerce firm. The site offers guaranteed same-day delivery in India’s largest cities. Giant conglomerate Tata Group launched its own e-commerce platform in February 2016. Delivery will continue to be one of the biggest competitive battles in India’s rapidly growing ecommerce sector. In China, ecommerce leaders such as JD.com and Yihaodian have been aggressively expanding their delivery networks and options, including same-day delivery in major cities. 5) Wi-Fi Enables Wireless Traffic Growth While cellular phone companies are investing billions of dollars in technologies to give their subscribers enhanced services such as 3G and 4G mobile internet, Wi-Fi is more vital than ever for wireless access. As the number of cellular device subscriptions for smartphones, tablets and aircards has soared, so has the demand placed upon cellular networks. Wi-Fi acts as a vital relief valve. Wireless device owners increasingly want to access immense files, such as Netflix movies on demand. If the world’s rapidly increasing wireless data traffic relied solely on cellular networks, the system would break down. However, since wireless device owners typically have access to Wi-Fi as an alternative for a

www.plunkettresearch.com

large portion of the day, they can switch to Wi-Fi from cellular as needed, reducing their total cellular subscription costs and dramatically reducing the load placed on cellular networks. Experts at Cisco, with the Cisco Visual Networking Index, estimate that by 2020, the global number of internet-connected mobile devices will reach 1.5 per capita (nearly 11 billion devices). Smartphones will represent about 50% of these devices and connections. By 2017, the average mobile connection speed will exceed 3 Mbps. Cisco also estimated that, during 2015 for the first time ever, more than 50% of mobile traffic was offloaded to Wi-Fi than remained on cellular networks. Wi-Fi speed refers to the connection between local Wi-Fi devices. On the fixed end, each Wi-Fi network is tied into an internet router that may or may not be high-speed. This means that the actual download speed enjoyed by the user is limited to the speed of the internet service connected to the router. Wi-Fi networks are easy and inexpensive to set up. The signal utilizes public domain, unlicensed radio spectrum. They are frequently found in homes and offices, as well as such high-traffic areas as coffee shops, fast food restaurants, airports, hotels, bookstores, shopping malls and other public places. For example, Starbucks coffee shops offer Wi-Fi connections. Select McDonald’s restaurants offer Wi-Fi, and hotels provide Wi-Fi to guests. AT&T, Inc. now operates more than 125,000 hotspots around the globe. Smartphones users are generally eager to take advantage of available Wi-Fi, as it reduces their total cellular network usage and therefore their cellphone bills. One of the most aggressive builders of Wi-Fi networks is Boingo (www.boingo.com). Charging a modest monthly fee for unlimited connect time, the firm has developed a system of thousands of such networks worldwide. As of early 2017, Boingo had over 1 million locations around the world for its wireless connection service. The firm’s locations include airports, hotels, restaurants and other places, such as convention centers. The next step for Wi-Fi may be systems that cancel “self-interference” of signals. Kumu Networks, Inc., a startup based in Santa Clara, California (kumunetworks.com), has developed “full duplex” technology that enables Wi-Fi to transmit and receive simultaneously, effectively doubling the speed and capability of the network.

Global Internet Market Tops 3.5 Billion Users/Ultrafast Broadband Expands, both Fixed and Wireless By the end of 2016, fixed broadband connections in the U.S. totaled 106 million homes and businesses by wireline (DSL), direct fiber, satellite or cable, up from 102.2 million in 2015, according to Plunkett Research estimates. Fueling this growth has been intense price competition between cable and DSL providers. The internet is now reaching a vast U.S. market. In addition, there were more than 264 million wireless internet subscriptions in America as of the end of 2016. The majority of American cellphones are now smartphones. Big improvements in the devices, such as the latest iPhones and Android-based units, along with enhanced high-speed access via 3G and 4G networks, are fueling this growth. In addition, most major e-commerce, news and entertainment sites have carefully designed their web pages to perform reasonably well on the “third screen,” that is, cellphones (with TV being the first screen and desktop or laptop computers being the second screen). Globally, the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) estimated the number of internet users at 3.5 billion at the end of 2016 (including wireless). While the era of declining access costs is largely over, internet access speeds continue to increase dramatically. Google launched its “Google Fiber” ultra-high-speed internet service in Kansas City, Kansas in 2012, and soon expanded into Austin, Texas; Provo, Utah; and Atlanta, Georgia. By early 2016, Google was in discussion or contract with 16 additional cities. This system allows homes and businesses to have 1 gigabit per second access, roughly 100 to 200 times the speed of typical DSL or mobile broadband. More than 1,000 U.S. towns and cities applied for the service when it was first announced, but Google is gauging the results of this initial effort before making any decisions about rolling it out. AT&T U-verse initially launched a similar 1 gigabit service in competition with Google in the Austin area called AT&T Fiber. The company was offering the service in dozens of cities by the beginning of 2017, with particularly heavy coverage in California. What will widespread use of fast internet access mean to consumers? The opportunities for new or enhanced products and services are endless, and the amount of entertainment, news, commerce and personal services designed to take advantage of

www.plunkettresearch.com

broadband will continue to grow rapidly. For example, education support and classes via broadband is rapidly growing into a major industry. Broadband in the home is essential for everyday activities ranging from children’s homework to shopping to managing financial accounts. Online entertainment and information options, already vast, will grow daily. Some online services are becoming indispensable, and always-on is the new accepted standard. The quality of streaming video and audio is becoming clear and reliable, making music and movie downloads extremely fast, and allowing internet telephone users to see their parties on the other end as if they were in the same room. Compression and caching techniques are evolving, and distribution and storage costs are expected to plummet. Consumers are accepting pay-per-view or pay-per-use service offerings because of their convenience and moderate cost. A very significant portion of today’s radio, television and movie entertainment is migrating to the web. Plunkett’s Law of Convergence: Consumer usage of the internet grows exponentially as broadband access prices decline and more and more internet devices are adopted—fixed and mobile. This increases demand for new online products and leads to increased offerings of highvalue online services and entertainment at reasonable prices. 7)

Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) Gains Traction The major telephone firms are looking for ways to increase revenues through enhanced services while retaining their customer bases. One such way is through the delivery of ultra-high-speed internet access, combined with enhanced entertainment and telephone options, often by installing true fiber-tothe-home (FTTH) networks. Under traditional telephone and internet service, homes are served by copper wires, which are limited to relatively slow service. However, old-fashioned copper networks are not up to the demands of today’s always-on internet consumers. Fiber-optic cable might be used in trunk lines to connect regions and cities to each other at the switch and network level, but speed drops significantly once the service hits local copper lines. Things are much more advanced in major markets today. In an AT&T project, fiber is being brought into special hubs in existing neighborhoods. From those hubs, fast services are delivered into the

Plunkett Research, Ltd.

home with advanced technologies on short, final runs of copper wire. FTTH, in contrast, delivers fiber-optic cable all the way from the network to the local switch directly into the living room—with this system, internet delivery speeds and the types of entertainment and data delivered can be astounding. Google's “Google Fiber” service, available in Kansas City, Missouri; Austin, Texas; and Provo, Utah; offers extremely fast download speeds of 1,000 Mbps (one gigabit), roughly 50 to 100 times faster than typical DSL or cable service. By 2016, Google offered the service in cities including Atlanta, Georgia; Austin, Texas; Charlotte, North Carolina; Kansas City, Missouri; Kansas City, Kansas; Nashville, Tennessee; and Provo Utah. This puts tremendous competitive pressure on other internet access companies. It also makes consumers wonder why they have been paying high monthly rates for slow service for many years. In response, AT&T has begun providing 1,000 Mbps service in Dallas/Ft. Worth and a few other cities, with many cities under consideration for the future. The long term result is going to be much better, faster internet access in major U.S. cities, at a reasonable cost. Verizon has completed a multi-year FTTH program that makes it the U.S. leader in FTTH. Verizon’s FTTH (called FiOS) offers exceptional speeds, with 500 Mbps download speed now available in some areas. FiOS internet access subscriptions totaled more than 5.49 million in mid2016, while FiOS entertainment subscriptions fell to 4.63 million. The Fiber-to-the-Home Council (www.ftthcouncil.org) tracks FTTH trends. In many cases, FTTH has been provided by local government or by subdivision developers who are determined to provide leading-edge connectivity as a value-added feature to new homes. FTTH technologies, though expensive, may save the Bells from being trampled by the cable companies. Fiber-optic networks can give consumers extremely fast internet connections. Such ultra-highspeeds will also allow consumers to download movies in seconds and make videoconferencing a meaningful reality for businesses. (Additional fiber terms used in the industry include FTTP for Fiber-tothe-premises and FTTO for fiber-to-the-office.) FTTH has been widely adopted in South Korea, Hong Kong, Japan, the United Arab Emirates and Taiwan, according to the FTTH Councils of AsiaPacific, Europe and North America.

Cloud Computing and Software as a Service (SaaS) Point the Way to the Future There is a now-unstoppable trend toward downplaying the role of packaged software that is installed on the desktop, relying more on internetbased applications. This trend is called Software as a Service (SaaS). In fact, Sun Microsystem’s famous positioning line of long standing, “The network is the computer,” pretty well sums up this movement, a thought that “uses the internet as the computing platform of the future.” Microsoft, Google and other leading firms are quickly enhancing their own suites of internet-based applications. Meanwhile, cloud computing is the use of remote servers owned and operated by third-party service providers to store and access data, as opposed to servers owned by the user. Service firms that offer cloud services for a fee run clusters of computers networked together, often based on open standards. Such cloud networks can consist of thousands of computers. Cloud services enable a client company to immediately increase computing capability without any investment in physical infrastructure. (The word “cloud” is also broadly used to describe any data or application that runs via the internet.) The concept of cloud is also increasingly linked with software as a service. Gartner expected IT spending on cloud services to grow to $205 billion in 2016, or about 6% of total global IT spending of $3.4 trillion. The transition rate is about 2% per year, and the firm believes that as much as $1 trillion in IT spending will move to the cloud between 2016 and 2021. Amazon.com was one of the earliest companies to offer cloud services, and it remains a leader in this field. Since it must operate immense server capacity anyway, Amazon decided in early 2006 to offer cloud computing services on those servers to outside parties. Amazon Web Services (AWS) have been extremely popular. Using AWS requires no longterm contract or up-front investment. Charges are reasonable and usage-based (a few cents per gigabyte per month in the U.S.). Remote servers, remote storage and the Amazon SimpleDB database are among the most popular offerings. By the beginning 2017, AWS was generating revenues for Amazon at a rate that will bring in more than $13 billion yearly, which will rapidly grow to $20 billion and more. Amazon, Microsoft and Google are investing vast sums to build new data centers for cloud services. For 2016, IBM reported total cloud revenues up 61% to $8.6 billion. However, this

Plunkett Research, Ltd.

intense competition is driving some firms to the sidelines, as evidenced by HP’s late-2015 announcement that it would stop offering public cloud services. Software that is sold and operates only via the cloud is a growing trend. Adobe Systems, Inc., for example, a maker of extremely popular design software, announced in 2013 that it is selling its biggest software products as online services only available by subscription to Adobe Creative Cloud. The result of these efforts has become a wide variety of software that is accessed only via the internet instead of the desktop. Some software can be accessed for free, but many rich software applications are rented to the user by subscription or by fees based on the amount of time used. The growing use of smartphones is accelerating this trend. Also, the sharing of data, whether for business collaboration (such as Microsoft’s Office 365 and Salesforce’s customer management solution) or simply for fun (such as Facebook), has simplified dramatically thanks to the cloud. Business models and profit streams are being altered as a result. A major goal of publishing software in the cloud is for the user to be able to eliminate much of the money and staff effort that an organization typically invests in building, managing and updating software in the traditional manner on a computer network. At the same time, the cloud enables software providers to build steady streams of renewable subscription revenues. Salesforce, a customer relationship management (CRM) software leader, has achieved great success by selling internet-based (SaaS) access to its tools. NetSuite is another major provider of internet-based applications. Its offering for businesses includes CRM, enterprise resource planning (ERP), accounting, e-commerce and much more, all on a subscription basis. Among the advantages of SaaS are no software to purchase and no software to install or maintain. 9)

HTML5 Makes Web Pages More Interactive, Sets up the Semantic Web 3.0 of the Future HTML5, an evolution of the computer language that underlies web sites, makes it easier for designers to embed interactive features into web pages. HTML stands for Hypertext Markup Language. It defines the way a web page looks to users and how it reacts to their clicks. HTML5 was eagerly awaited by web page designers, as the fifth generation of this vital tool. It will lead to better, more meaningful search

www.plunkettresearch.com

results and a richer, multimedia experience for web users. For example, new tags in a web page’s source code, such as and enable the developer to better organize page content. The end goal is what is widely referred to as the Semantic Web, an initiative started by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) that is focused on improving the way users access online content by adding semantic metadata to content that will clearly define the relationships between data. Users will get much better search results, and web site developers will be able to create pages that update results and content based on related data on-the-fly. Data will automatically be shared across applications and across organizations. Some of the more important advantages include the ability to embed audio and video elements directly in a web page’s code, or to enable the web browser to interact with both content on the web page and software applications stored in the user’s computer of smartphone. This means that users won’t need to download plug-ins in order to listen to audio files, watch videos or enjoy other enhanced graphic and audio experiences. This technology is generally referred to as RIA or Rich Internet Applications. Previously, most multimedia content relied on “plug-in” applications such as Adobe Flash or Java. This created many problems and challenges. For example, Apple’s iPad tablet initially could not run Flash. Also, now that HTML5 is widely used, users are able to access cloud-based content and web-based programs via any type of device (smartphone, tablet, PC, notebook, etc.), as the internet browser has become the common platform for virtually all activities. This is a logical advancement of the cloud computing movement and the mobile access movement. In October 2014, the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) made its 5th major revision for HTML5, in a document that spans 1,370 pages. This represents eight years of effort, and brings a global level of agreement and definition for the future of the way the web will look and react for users of all types. Many of its features and concepts are already working their way into popular web browsers. For example, Google’s Chrome browser has some of its capabilities, such as video tags. Chrome, Apple’s Safari browser, Opera and Mozilla’s Firefox all support HTML5 video to some degree. Microsoft began using parts of HTML5 in its Internet Explorer 8. Also, Microsoft’s Bing search engine uses parts of HTML5.

10) Chinese Consumers Near $900 Billion in Annual B2C Purchases Online China is posting phenomenal growth in ecommerce, up by 33.3% in 2015 according to the National Bureau of Statistics in China, to a total of $589.6 billion, making it the largest market in the world. For 2015, online shopping accounted for 12.9% of all retail purchases in China. In 2016, eMarketer forecasted $899 billion in online sales, equaling almost one-half of the world’s digital sales. This growth is due to widely available internet access, a growing middle class, the development of Chinese e-commerce businesses such as Alibaba.com and Tencent, sophisticated payment technologies and aggressive development of fast product delivery services. Alibaba.com, operator of business-to-business, ecommerce, payment services and auction sites, had 434 million active users and $14.6 billion in sales in fiscal 2016. Its flagship web site is Taobao, which is similar to eBay. It offers an enormous array of merchandise but relies on third parties for fulfillment, delivery and logistics as well as other services. A newer Alibaba site, Tmall, is a marketplace for luxury brands of clothing, food and electronics. Tmall is perfectly positioned to serve China’s growing middle class. As of late 2015, according to Credit Suisse, there were 109 million Chinese people with a net worth between $50,000 and $500,000. People in that economic category are expected to number more than 500 million by 2022. China’s Singles’ Day, an e-commerce holiday and the world’s largest internet shopping event, brought in more than $17.7 billion in sales for Alibaba in November 2016. A notable difference between Chinese and U.S. online buyers is that in China, shoppers often buy from digital marketplaces rather than traditional brick and mortar retailers’ web sites. These marketplaces are megasites similar to eBay or Amazon Marketplace. Alibaba has competitors, including JD.com and Yihaodian. JD.com offers same-day delivery services in 40 cities (Alibaba offers it through its Cainiao logistics arm), while Yihaodian became 100% owned by Wal-Mart as of mid-2015. With Wal-Mart’s backing, Yihaodian has grown to have more than 200 distribution centers. Many western companies are enjoying reasonable levels of success in doing business in China. Although the establishment of a Chineselicensed business unit and the opening of an account in a Chinese bank are still difficult and time consuming requirements, there are some initiatives

www.plunkettresearch.com

that are making the effort easier. Alibaba created Tmall Global in 2014, an international marketplace in which foreign companies can sell to Chinese customers without creating Chinese subsidiaries or setting up bank accounts. Ant Financial, an Alibaba spinoff, takes care of transaction processing with the firms’ home-country banks, while shipping and handling are overseen by delivery firm Cainiao. Another Tmall Global plus is that it has worked with the Chinese government to create bonded warehouses in several cities that are free from standard import duties in some cases, and taxed at a lower rate than wholesale purchases. Internet Research Tip: The Internet in China For the latest information on internet usage and web sites in China, visit the China Internet Network Information Center, www.cnnic.net.cn. The group publishes extremely useful research and survey results, and its web site is available in English as well as the Chinese language. 11) VOIP (Telephony over the Internet) Continues to Revolutionize the Telecommunications Industry Local exchange telephone companies continue to face a dismal market for landlines. The popularity of cellphones is one reason, but another big threat to traditional phone lines is phone calls made over the internet. The rapid proliferation of high-speed access to the internet in homes and offices makes internetbased telephony a logical next step for a wide variety of businesses and consumers. Most newly installed telephone systems in mid-size to large business offices are based on Voice over Internet Protocol (VOIP), with virtually all telephone equipment manufacturers now offering VOIP equipment. Likewise, massive numbers of consumers around the globe are adopting VOIP for their long-distance services, particularly via the extremely popular Skype service, which is owned by Microsoft. VOIP services are often called over-the-top (OTT) applications. The fact that phone service can be provided online enables cable companies to compete head-on with telephone companies, since cable offers internet service as well as entertainment programming. Consequently, many households are subscribing to cable bundles that include VOIP, internet and entertainment/TV (and dropping their traditional landlines). This makes cable companies major, direct competitors to traditional telephone companies. The

Plunkett Research, Ltd.

competitive landscape has become even more complicated now that software companies are also getting into VOIP-type services. For example, WhatsApp, a global text messaging service acquired by Facebook in 2014, added VOIP features to its services in 2015, putting it in direct competition with Skype. Viber, part of Japan’s Rakuten, Inc., is another popular service used worldwide. VOIP transforms phone calls into digital format, which is transmitted across the internet almost effortlessly and, more tellingly, cheaply. Rapid growth is occurring outside the U.S., particularly in nations where very high-speed broadband is commonplace in homes and offices. In emerging nations, VOIP growth has been fueled by its low cost. Some VOIP services are essentially free of cost, or extremely inexpensive, but they offer limited services that often make or receive calls only with other members of the same service. This is how Skype got started. The strategy of Skype and similar firms has been to first offer free services, and then sell value-added subscriptions. What a full-featured VOIP subscription offers is really a local telephone number bundled with longdistance service, at rates far cheaper than plans sold by other carriers, especially for international calls. In addition, many VOIP providers do not charge extra fees for services such as voice mail, call-waiting, caller ID and do-not-disturb, which temporarily blocks calls from certain parties and directs them to voice mail. Additional features are three-way calling as well as message retrieval and system settings via phone, web site or e-mail from any location worldwide. A particularly interesting feature of VOIP service gives subscribers the ability to choose almost any area code as the prefix to their phone numbers. This means that a business or home can be located in Portland, Oregon, for example, but have an area code for Miami, Florida. This can be particularly convenient for businesses that want to create local phone numbers for virtual locations in several cities or countries. Both businesses and consumers have the ability to set up toll-free numbers via VOIP as well. Google entered the VOIP sector in 2010 with its Gmail service. User download a free voice and video chat installation and can then make free calls anywhere in the U.S. and Canada and low rates for calls to other countries. Not surprisingly, there are a large number of players in the VOIP service market. A leader in this technology is the aforementioned Vonage, a New

www.plunkettresearch.com

Jersey-based firm. In addition to relatively new firms like Vonage and Net2Phone, however, are the traditional telephone companies, such as Verizon and AT&T, as well as cable companies like Cox Communications, Cablevision Systems, Comcast and Time Warner Cable. These companies followed Vonage’s lead into VOIP, and all offer some type of VOIP service. One of the more interesting players in VOIP is Skype. Skype works on peer-to-peer technology; that is, users must download the free Skype software to their computers or smartphones. They can then make unlimited, free-of-charge VOIP calls to other computers that contain Skype software. Several users may participate in a conference call at once. Skype was acquired by Microsoft in 2011 at a cost of $8.5 billion, a good indicator of the vast potential for growth in use of VOIP. Microsoft is working to integrate Skype’s features into many of its products, such as its extremely popular Xbox game machines. Skype’s challenge was to move beyond the distribution of free software, in order to generate significant subscription-based fees. VOIP service is already a highly competitive market. Consequently, consumers can look forward to more new features and better service while prices drop. It can be vastly cheaper to operate an internetbased phone company than a traditional landline provider, because VOIP service providers don’t have to invest in billions of dollars’ worth of telephone equipment—instead, they rely on the internet as the backbone of their services. (Of course, this means that your VOIP telephone service is only as reliable as your internet connection.) 12) Telecommunications Systems Move Online Including Unified Communications, Telepresence VOIP (internet-based telephony or Voice Over Internet Protocol) is only the first step in the telecommunications revolution taking place online. The next generation is known as “unified communications,” a technology pursued by Microsoft, Cisco and many others. Special software operating on a local office server, or in the cloud, enables each office worker to have access, via the desktop PC (and to a large extent via mobile devices with remote access), to communications tools that include VOIP phone service, e-mail, voice mail, fax, instant messaging (IM), collaborative calendars and schedules, contact information such as address books, audio conferencing and video conferencing.

Plunkett Research, Ltd.

For example, to make a phone call with unified communications you open your communications screen, click on a name in your address book, and the call is placed via VOIP. To send a fax, you click on a contact’s fax number in your address book, click on the item you want to fax in your documents folder, and the fax is gone. When you have an incoming phone call, your screen will tell you what number is calling and match that number to a name in your address book. You might take the call, or you might send it to voice mail with one click. In the same way that you currently save and archive e-mails, you can digitally record, save, review and archive phone calls. Mobility, security and advanced collaboration with coworkers are among the features emphasized. Network equipment giant Cisco is pushing a next-generation video-conferencing technology it refers to as “TelePresence.” At a cost ranging from about $20,000 up to $350,000 per installation, depending on the number of screens and other options, Cisco provides hardware and software needed to fully equip a state-of-the-art video conferencing room. Such a room may include as many as three 65-inch plasma monitors, advanced high-speed cameras, projectors, microphones, speakers that are set up so that the sound seems to come directly from the participant who is talking, along with appropriate software. There are virtually no delays in the conversation, and images are crisp and life-like. Indeed, the image of a participant, from the chest up, is life-size. High bandwidth and extremely reliable, fast internet connections are prerequisites. Cisco offers a smaller system for use in individual offices and a large telepresence room designed for group training and team meetings. (The company also offers much simpler Unified IP Phone sets with video touchscreens for person-to-person meetings that turns any flat panel display into a telepresence system for small meeting rooms,) However, the quality of a telepresence meeting relies very heavily on the quality of the equipment involved. For many major corporate users, near lifelike quality is required, such as that delivered by Cisco’s TelePresence equipment. The advantages to telepresence systems such as Cisco’s are based on making remote meetings more effective and life-like, while enhancing collaboration and communications, as well as greatly reducing the need for expensive, time-consuming business travel. The goal is to have results from teleconference meetings that near the results of F2F (face-to-face) meetings. Procter & Gamble has more than 50 offices equipped with high end TelePresence

www.plunkettresearch.com

systems, which saved the firm an estimated 6,000 international flights in a recent six-month period. High-end equipment makers are feeling strong competition from startups and lower-priced products. A relatively new player in videoconferencing is LifeSize Communications based in Austin, Texas. LifeSize uses high-definition (HD) cameras to send video streams over ordinary internet hardware, and is owned by Logitech. Another noteworthy entrant to the telepresence market is Vidyo, Inc., a New Jersey firm which offers a mid-priced, three- to 20-screen videoconferencing room. Meanwhile, for simpler needs and smaller budgets, startups such as Fuze, formerly FuzeBox, and Blue Jeans Network offer inexpensive subscription software that uses smartphones, tablets and PCs to provide videoconferencing. Both companies have signed big name corporate customers, including Facebook for Blue Jeans Network and Groupon for Fuze. Cisco now offers its own subscription-based software. Over the midterm, watch for more Cloud-based subscription options that offer videoconferencing and telepresence at a fraction of full-blown conference room system prices. 13) Social Media Generates $31 Billion in Global Online and Mobile Ad Revenues Global social media ad spending doubled in the past two years, going from $16 billion in 2014 to $31 billion in 2016 according to Hootsuite. Facebook (www.facebook.com) continues to be the dominant site among social media worldwide. As of the end of 2016, the company had 1.79 billion monthly active users in general, and 1.18 billion daily active users. Facebook is building targeted advertising revenues based on likes and dislikes established in users’ profiles, to the extent that it is now one of the largest generators of online advertising revenue. Advertisers want to be where potential customers are, and Facebook reported in May 2016 that its average user spends 50 minutes each day on Facebook and its Instagram and Messenger platforms (not counting its WhatsApp). Facebook Connect allows members to log onto other sites such as CitySearch.com or Yelp.com using their Facebook identification to tie activities on those sites back to their personal Facebook pages. A CitySearch restaurant review, for example, appears as part of a Facebook posting. In a similar vein, Facebook launched Open Stream API, which allows developers to export the

Plunkett Research, Ltd.

site’s news feeds to any other site. Facebook users can access their friends’ news feeds from any number of other sites without having to login to Facebook. Facebook also has enabled developers to tap into its Messenger platform, which means that users won’t have to exit Messenger in order to access a favorite app that is Messenger-enabled. Advertisers have the ability to track customers who are directed to their sites from Facebook, as well as specify goals such as increasing “Likes” or converting more clicks to sales. Advertisers also have control of where ads appear on Facebook, either in users’ newsfeeds or in a column of ads on the right side of the site’s pages. In addition, advertisers can use the site’s Custom Audience tool to specify potential customer attributes (gender, interests, location, etc.) and the Lookalike Audiences tool to find potential customers who are similar to existing customers. Facebook and other social media sites must walk a fine line between targeting customers through user data and violating user privacy. In late 2013, Facebook was forwarding users’ likes and comments about brands to their friends as ads, and subsequently faced a class action lawsuit. More recently, Facebook focused on targeting its users’ tastes and habits, and reaching them through ads on other companies’ mobile apps. The site is also running video ads, giving it a great ability to compete with TV for promoting events such as film openings and sports games. Google failed to gain traction with its initial social media platform called Buzz. Google is trying again with a social networking effort called Google+ which launched in 2012. LinkedIn is designed to help users network for business opportunities, and to help job seekers and recruiters connect. The site was launched in 2003, and by late 2016, it had exceeded 467 million registered users in more than 200 countries and territories around the world. LinkedIn has revolutionized the employee recruiting industry single-handed, as each user’s home page’s functions well as an online resume. Recruiters constantly comb the users’ information in order to identify people with certain qualifications, using sophisticated online tools provided by LinkedIn on a monthly subscription basis. In 2016, LinkedIn was acquired by Microsoft for about $26 billion. Microsoft is focusing on adding services and features to its cloud-based businesses, and sees LinkedIn as a logical extension of Microsoft’s services for business customers.

On the video front, YouTube (www.youtube.com), part of Google since 2006, has long been a free-of-charge site for sharing video uploaded by YouTube members. The company earns very significant revenues through the sale of online ads. In addition, it intends to be a major provider of premium online content for paid subscribers. The site has social media elements, since members connect to create video groups that share similar interests. Videos can be uploaded by their creators as available for public viewing, or as private videos with limited access. In order to add to its videos contributed by amateur users and professionals or corporations who want to build video audiences, YouTube has partnered with major content providers such as CBS, Sony Music Group, the BBC, NBA, Warner Music Group, The Sundance Channel and Universal Music Group. YouTube is truly global in scope. In order to encourage international users, YouTube has established local sites in 40 nations. Twitter is working to attract advertisers with tools such as Amplify, which allows Twitter to sell ads in conjunction with television and other media companies. Using Amplify, networks post brief video replays of just-aired programming sponsored by advertisers. A&E Networks, BBC America and ESPN were early partners with Amplify. Many TV ads and some programs feature Twitter hashtags to promote discussions. Twitter and Facebook face stiff competition from newer social outlets including Pinterest, Snapchat and Tumblr. Snapchat users share photos and videos taken on their smartphones. In January 2015, Snapchat launched Discover, a service that links content from a broad array of sources such as ESPN, the Food Network, CNN, National Geographic, Yahoo! News and Warner Music Group. Users swipe their mobile screens from left to right to change images, and up and down to view full video or news articles posted by the content sources, which include advertising. Pinterest is an extremely social site that enables users to create online bulletin boards (“pinboards”) of photos, videos, ideas, dreams and comments. Each image posted is called a “pin.” In China, a social media app called Weixin/WeChat has largely taken the place of Facebook and Twitter (both of which are officially banned in China). Google sites, including YouTube, as well as Instagram, are also banned. The Weixin/WeChat app features games, chat and social media in one package. Weixin is owned by Tencent,

Plunkett Research, Ltd.

a Chinese internet firm known for its online games and the QQ instant messenger service. Tencent markets Weixin outside China, particularly in Southeast Asia, Europe and Latin America under the brand WeChat. Online and mobile sites face losses in ad revenue when users install ad blocker software, a free practice that is growing quickly. SPOTLIGHT: Mobile Buy Buttons Google, Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest, among others, are working to increase purchasing habits on mobile devices. Online consumers generally make purchases via desktop computers. eMarketer estimated that while Americans spend half of their online time on mobile phones, only one-fifth of retail e-commerce sales are made by phone. Some users are concerned about security, while others don’t want to be bothered with typing in shipping and payment information on a smartphone’s small screen. Many web sites, search engines and social media sites are now using phone apps that store shipping and payment data, making simple one-click purchases (first offered by Amazon) available to thousands of small retailers. 14) Programmatic Ad Buying Dominates the Market Advertisers and web sites use automated systems in which advertisers specify the type of ad, types of page locations and price they are willing to pay for an ad. The ads are then placed by a third party (the “exchange”) into vacant slots that match the advertiser’s criteria. The practice, which is also referred to as programmatic buying, utilizes a set of complicated algorithms running during the milliseconds it takes for a web page to load. Omnicom Group reports that it can bid for up to 10 million online ads every second. The practice already places ads on smartphones, tablets and desktops, but will exponentially grow as televisions and billboards increasingly become connected to the internet. Examples of exchanges include Microsoft Advertising Exchange (which was acquired, along with Microsoft’s other ad businesses, in mid-2015 by AOL) and PulsePoint (formerly ContextWeb, Inc.). The practice fills heretofore unsold or underpriced ad slots on web sites. More recently, sophisticated online ad management systems, such as Google’s DoubleClick for Publishers (formerly Ad Manager), PubMatic and Yahoo’s APT, make it relatively simple for advertisers, agencies and web site owners

www.plunkettresearch.com

to track ad space inventories and advertising campaigns. This ability for advertisers and their agencies to tightly control their advertising spending creates new cost-effectiveness, and is a powerful boost to overall online ad spending. SPOTLIGHT: Programmatic Buying of TV Ads Interpublic Group of Cos. (IPG) is working with television and radio firms (including A&E Networks, Clear Channel, Tribute Co. and Cablevision Systems) to automate one-half of its media buying business. Automated ad buying is the purchase of advertising using high-speed, algorithmic programs that match advertisers, and the prices they are willing to pay, to desired audiences based on consumer habits such as previous purchases, favored web sites and social media activity. TV and radio ads are facing growing competition from online ads, where automated buying has become commonplace. 15) Online Travel Agencies (OTAs) Continue Strong Growth in Bookings/Hotels Fight to Keep Control of the Customer One of the biggest single changes in the travel industry has been the exceptionally rapid rise of online travel agencies, also known as OTAs. Around the globe, vast numbers of business and leisure travelers alike rely on the internet as their primary means of gaining travel information, reserving hotels and booking air tickets. According to market research firm eMarketer, digital travel sales in America (including sales made on mobile devices) were expected to grow to $190.8 billion in 2016, up from $177.5 billion in 2015. On a global basis, digital travel sales were expected to rise from $496.2 billion to $564.9 in 2015 billion in 2016. Expedia, Travelocity, Orbitz, Hotwire and Priceline (owner of Booking.com) are among the largest firms offering online travel booking services in North America. In Europe, major online travel booking firms include EasyGroup (a holding company that owns and operates a number of travel and entertainment brands including easyCar, easyHotel and easyJet), Lastminute.com (a subsidiary of Travelocity Europe Limited) and eBookers. The numbers involved are massive. Priceline’s Booking.com offers over 600,000 properties. Other important players include China’s Ctrip.com and eLong, UK-based Travelport Worldwide and India’s MakeMyTrip.

Plunkett Research, Ltd.

In September 2015, Expedia completed its $1.3 billion acquisition of Orbitz. The merged companies could represent about 75% of U.S. online booking volume. Expedia already owned several sites, including hotels.com and Travelocity. From a U.S. travel market perspective, there will now be only two significant corporate OTA groups: Expedia and Priceline. Together, these corporate enterprises will control about 95% of the American OTA market. The two giants, Priceline and Expedia, each now have massive existing customer bases. They have enormous marketing budgets that can be used to battle competitors that might emerge. Both have extremely powerful, deeply experienced digital marketing and technology teams that may be able to out-produce and out-compete the strategies of emerging firms. They each own several respected, dominant booking brands. The firms also have reached the point of massive scale whereby they have significant clout with suppliers, and they have the potential to make their loyalty programs even more compelling and competitive due to scale. Meanwhile, an extremely popular travel reviews and information site, TripAdvisor, has evolved into an online booking site. It is in a good position to compete head-on with Priceline and Expedia. There are even more changes in store with the online travel booking business thanks to recent entries by Google and Amazon. SPOTLIGHT: Hotel Booking on Google, A SlamDunk for the Online Search Giant: Google has invested heavily in travel-related technologies and assets as well, including the Frommer’s brand of travel guides and the widely used ITA airline reservation system. Now, it has launched a hotel booking service. This strategy offers multiple advantages in addition to a new commission-based revenue stream for the search engine company. From the consumer’s point-of-view, reserving a room on Google offers greater ease of booking on mobile devices, as there is no hand-off to second or third party sites. It also means fewer screens and pages to deal with, ease of comparing hotel locations and prices and instant payment for Google Wallet users. It offers speed and convenience similar to Amazon’s One-Click purchase button.

www.plunkettresearch.com

From Google’s point-of-view, this new business will increase user engagement and site traffic. Users must sign in to their Google accounts to complete bookings (and therefore must establish a user account if he/she doesn’t have one). This new business will also drive users to establish Google Wallet accounts and to add hotel reviews. Google already owns substantial travel information assets, and this move into hotels is likely only a small first step into extremely promising travel industry territory. Google could easily establish travel loyalty rewards as well. Google has more opportunity in this market since Amazon shut down its hotel booking site, Amazon Destinations, in late 2015. Consumers like the OTAs because they offer a wide choice of hotel brands, prices and locations in one view. Some sites operate as “metasearch” engines, enabling the consumer to link directly to a hotel’s site for booking. The largest, however, operate as true online booking agencies. Hotels pay from 12% to as much as 25% commission for these bookings. In addition to the fees, OTAs are causing serious alarm at hotel chains, which fear they are losing control of the loyalty of and relationship with their customers. This is due to several strategies employed by the OTAs, including continual addition of new travel planning features to their web sites and apps, as well as extremely popular loyalty points programs of their own. Hotels.com, for example, offers a free hotel night, with no restrictions, after booking 10 nights total. This is a much simpler, easier-to-use program than those offered by most chains. Major hotel chains and airlines have invested immense sums in their own, branded internet sites. These travel providers benefit because the use of their own online booking systems eliminates fees to middlemen and wages to human reservation agents. Encouraging travelers to book through the hotel and airline companies’ own sites also gives the firms control over marketing and branding, and enables them to promote loyalty programs. Consumers benefit because they have seamless access to travel information, frequent flyer accounts and other perks. A major consideration is access to loyalty points. Hotel chains are also offering discounts through their loyalty programs. For example, Choice Hotels International offers a “member rate” of up to 10% off at some of its properties. In 2016, Hilton Worldwide, with more than 4,000 hotels worldwide, launched an aggressive “Stop

Plunkett Research, Ltd.

Clicking Around” ad campaign that was prominent in printed, digital and broadcast media. Hilton’s campaign drove home the fact that it offers best price guarantees and other benefits to guests who book directly through Hilton’s own web sites, rather than online travel agencies. Most, if not all, chains have adopted aggressive online tactics and are denying awards points to customers who book their rooms through third-party sites. In addition, chains are offering “best price guarantees.” For example, if a guest sees a better price at an OTA but books through the hotel chain, the hotel will give the guest another 25% off. Hotels are also boosting their digital offerings for loyalty program members who book directly with the hotels. These include smartphone apps that enable instant check-in, fast check-out, smartphone-based electronic room keys, digital concierge services and smartphone-based scheduling of hotel services and room service orders. In most cases, hotels and OTAs have rate parity agreements in their contracts. This means that hotels may not be able to offer lower prices than those provided to the OTAs. However, the hotel chains may offer special prices to select groups of guests, such as loyalty plan members. This means that competitive advantage has to be created in some other manner, like loyalty programs, or special free perks for guests. In this regard, it’s vital for hotel chains to take advantage of assets that they control. For example, Hyatt is among chains enabling direct booking guests to look at a floor plan and choose the actual room that they will stay in. Other hotels are including free meals or drinks for certain guests. Traditional travel agencies have endured vast changes in recent years, including the growing trend among corporate travelers to use online booking services. Some travel agents have successfully repositioned themselves as “consultants,” charging hourly fees for their expertise. Others specialize in providing unique knowledge about travel to out-ofthe-way places such as Cambodia, French Polynesia or Africa. The largest national travel agencies run sophisticated web sites of their own. They act as outsourced travel departments for their major corporate clients and arrange discounts for clients who purchase massive amounts of travel. For example, Carlson Wagonlit is a leading global business travel agency, with offices in more than 150 nations. Many large travel agencies that focus on leisure travelers buy hotel and aircraft space at wholesale and then create highly profitable tour

packages to popular tourist destinations such as Cancun, Jamaica and Orlando. 16) Apple’s iTunes Set the Standard in the Music Industry, but Digital Sales Slow The sale of legal, downloadable music via the internet and smartphones has grown into an immense business, but it is now facing daunting competition from internet radio. Nielsen reported that combined sales of CDs and music downloads in the U.S. declined from 116.1 million units during 2015 to 100.3 million in 2016 (with digital sales accounting for 43.7% in 2016, compared to 46% in 2015). On a global scale, total recorded music sales rose slightly, from $14.97 billion in 2014 to $15.0 billion in 2015, according to the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI). Profit margins for record companies, once a healthy 15% to 20% during the 1980s, have fallen dramatically. A big step forward for the music industry came in the form of the groundbreaking iTunes Music Store, a digital service provided by Apple Computer, Inc. This global service offers single track and album files for download from major music companies. The music-playing capabilities of the wildly popular iPhone added to the power of Apple’s entertainment empire. iTunes, Apple’s online music store, set the standard for ease of use and broad selections of music. The music companies benefit, receiving about $0.65 in gross revenue per $0.99 retail-priced song. More importantly, the advent of iTunes was a watershed for the industry, enabling it for the first time to significantly limit music file piracy in a manner that is extremely popular with consumers. However, as internet-based music subscription services become more popular, iTunes music sales are slowing. In early 2014, Apple acquired Beats, which included Beats Audio hardware and the streaming service Beats Music for $3 billion. The acquisition fueled the launch of the Apple Music subscription service, a streaming app, in mid-2015. Apple Music is a direct attempt to compete with subscription sites such as Pandora and Spotify. 17) Pandora and Spotify Lead in Streaming Music Via Internet Radio but Face New Challenge from Apple Music/SiriusXM Tops 31 Million Subscribers More and more people are shifting to streaming music services, accessed via online subscriptions or

Plunkett Research, Ltd.

ad-supported plans. BuzzAngle Music reported 250.7 billion audio streams played in 2016, up 82.6% over 2015. Song downloads in 2016 totaled only 734 million. Streaming Music: As of early 2017, a number of services offered ad-supported free streaming music services including Spotify, Pandora, Amazon Prime Music, Google Play music, and the recently launched Apple Music. Most also offer premium subscription access priced between $4.99 and $9.99 per month that is ad free. Pandora, for example, based in Oakland, California, had 77.9 million monthly active listeners in the U.S. by October 2016, and about 4.0 million paying subscribers for premium, ad-free service. Pandora’s web-based platform allows users to build unique virtual radio stations based on their personal music preferences. Pandora allows up to 100 personalized stations to be created per account. The firm’s technology is based in part on the Music Genome Project, which analyzes and catalogues thousands of songs from multiple genres to create a comprehensive database that breaks down songs by 480 individual musical attributes. Pandora’s catalog contains over 1.5 million songs from more than 125,000 artists. The company offers free accounts, which are adsupported but restrict the ability to skip songs, as well as premium subscriptions through Pandora One, which give listeners the ability to skip an unlimited amount of songs, has no limit on monthly listening hours, delivers higher quality audio and removes advertisements. The firm branched out into mobile listening by releasing software for internet-enabled smartphones and tablets. It has also established partnerships with consumer electronics manufacturers, including Panasonic, Pioneer, Samsung and Sony, to integrate its software into new devices, as well as automakers like Honda, Ford, Lexus and Mercedes to include its software preinstalled on certain new model vehicles. Competitor Spotify, Ltd. also offers a wide range of listening options. Spotify is a web-based subscription music service offering streaming music to registered users in Sweden, Norway, Finland, the Netherlands, the U.K., France, Spain and the U.S., with roughly 100 million listeners to the free service, and more than 39 million paying subscribers by mid2016. The firm’s library of music is accessed via its proprietary Spotify streaming music player program, which users can download and install on a variety of platforms, offering them access to Spotify’s entire

www.plunkettresearch.com

music library and the ability to listen to chosen tracks at any time and in any order. Spotify users can create personalized playlists and also have the option to share these playlists with other Spotify users who can then edit the playlists and make their own updates, enabling a collaborative approach to online, peer-to-peer music sharing. The company offers two main access tiers. Spotify Free, allows free access to the online music library and is supported through advertisements, while the feebased subscription service, Spotify Premium, offer a variety of upgraded features and does not include advertising. Subscribers to Spotify Premium can access Spotify on a variety of mobile platforms, including the iPhone, the iPod Touch, Android-based phones and Windows Mobile-based phones. Spotify also connects users to a range of music sellers, providing links to online music stores where customers can purchase albums and individual songs for download. Additionally, it introduced Spotify Platform, which allows third-party developers to create music-based apps. Apple Music has been attempting to catch up with pioneers Spotify and Pandora. Like Spotify, paid subscribers are charged $10 per month for adfree service. In addition to on-demand streaming service, Apple Music offers a 24-hour global internet radio station and a portal in which artists connect with listeners. Industry analysts report that average users of free, ad-supported streaming services each generate about $4 per year to the record companies that own the song rights, while subscription access results in 70% of subscriber fees being paid to the music companies. The business model continues to evolve, as record companies including Universal Music Group (owned by Vivendi SA), Sony Music Entertainment and Warner Music Group (owned by Access Industries) put pressure on music services to curtail free trial periods, sell more ads on free streaming services and require users to submit credit card information up front when setting up trials. Recording artist Taylor Swift made headlines in 2014 when she withheld her recent album 1989 from Spotify and then pulled her entire catalog from the service. Swift’s record label, Big Machine Records, wanted to limit access to her music to paying subscribers only. Satellite Radio: While Spotify and Pandora have gained tremendous audiences in internet radio, they have not benefited financially as much as the world leader in delivering radio via satellite: SiriusXM.

Plunkett Research, Ltd.

Sirius XM Holdings, Inc., operating as Sirius XM Radio, is a U.S.-based satellite radio provider. (It also owns an interest in a related company Canada, where broadcasts are made in French and English.) It offers more than 175 channels to its more than 31 million subscribers, consisting of dozens of channels of commercial-free music; as well as popular channels of sports, news and talk that may include advertising in some cases, traffic and weather; and Latino channels. The company’s primary source of revenue is subscription fees, with most of its customers subscribing to Sirius on an annual basis. Sirius radios for the car, truck, home, RV, boat, office and store are distributed through automakers and retail locations nationwide as well as online through SiriusXM.com. Sirius also has agreements with every major automaker to offer its radios as factory or dealer-installed options in their vehicles. In addition, satellite radio services are offered to customers of certain rental car companies. Sirius Internet Radio is an internet-only version of the firm’s service that delivers a simulcast of select music and non-music channels. Additional services provided by the firm include Travel Link, a collection of data services that provides users with information on weather, fuel prices, movie listing and sports scores and scheduling; and both real-time weather and traffic services. The fact that voice-activated personal assistants, such as Amazon Echo and Google Home, can take verbal commands to find play music (by artist, genre or specific title), will add to the subscription music trend. 18) Tablets and Smartphones Cause Decline in PC and Laptop Computer Market The desktop and laptop personal computer (PC) market is suffering from intense competition from smartphones, and to a lesser extent from tablet computers. Global PC/laptop shipments were 255.6 million units in 2016, down from 276.7 million units in 2015, according to IDC. Although larger computers such as PCs remain better suited for such tasks as document production, recent sales of smartphones are immense thanks to their mobility. Software and online services available for use on smartphones have advanced dramatically, particularly in terms of mobile apps. Tablets are important platforms for accessing entertainment, games and news, in addition to business applications. Tablet sales, while still substantial, slowed starting in mid-2014, a trend

www.plunkettresearch.com

which continued through 2016. Analysts at IDC estimated that global tablet shipments declined by 14.7% in the in the third quarter of 2016, compared to the same quarter in 2015. Apple’s iPad remained the market leader, followed by tablets from Samsung and Amazon. iPads and other high-end tablets are challenged by several factors, including 1) some consumers are switching to smartphones with larger than normal screens, eliminating the need for a tablet; 2) for many users, tablets are not “must-have” devices, consequently they may be less likely to trade up for newer tablets to replace old models; and 3) low-priced tablets with ample features are now available from several makers. 19) Cable and Satellite TV Struggle with Cord-Cutting/Cheaper Streaming Options Proliferate, Including Netflix Cord-Cutting: In the race for media consumers, cable companies and satellite firms are losing subscribers, as viewers increasingly turn to the internet for video programming, a practice that is being to as “cord cutting.” There are millions of “Zero-TV” households, in which video watchers see content on devices other than traditional TV, according to Nielsen. In particular, people aged 25 or younger often do not own televisions, but watch programs solely on devices such as smartphones and tablets. Between 2011 and 2016, U.S. cable companies lost 6.7 million subscribers, while more than a quarter of millennials (born in the 1990s or early 2000s) reported having never subscribed to cable. A significant challenge facing cable and satellite companies is programming costs. Historically, they increased their subscription fees year after year in order to boost profits while covering increased costs. Some programming is extremely expensive to produce, especially sports programming (due to immense licensing fees paid to the sports leagues), and the cable and satellite firms have been passing those higher costs on to their customers. Cable and satellite firms, along with telecom companies, are fighting back with innovations such as Comcast’s xfinitytv.com, which includes the ability for subscribers to watch recent episodes online, on-demand. Time Warner developed an iPad app which offers multiple channels of live streaming TV. AT&T U-Verse has a web site similar to Comcast’s xfinitytv.com, as well as an app that acts as a remote control and a digital video recorder. In addition, it can download programming onto mobile devices for later viewing. DirecTV’s remote control

Plunkett Research, Ltd.

app streams live TV programming and also enables wireless devices to act as remote controls for TV viewing. DISH Network offers an automatic adskipping feature called AutoHop. Time Warner’s TV Everywhere allows cable and satellite subscribers to watch content online (using any device that offers internet access including tablets and smartphones) for no additional fee. Time Warner has deals with Comcast Corp., DISH Network, DIRECTV, AT&T and Verizon Communications, enabling their customers to watch shows from Time Warner’s networks. This is Time Warner’s attempt to avoid being marginalized by internet competitors. Competition from Netflix: Netflix.com is the largest movie and TV show rental site in the world, with more than 86 million subscribers in 190 countries. For a monthly subscription fee, users can enjoy streaming an unlimited number of movies. Netflix’s business model initially was based on mailing DVD copies of movies to its subscribers. This was a costly business, involving multiple warehouses and massive postage and handling expenses. Eventually, however, the firm invested in state of the art technology to enable it to focus on streaming via the internet. While Netflix still supported DVD subscribers as of 2017, this is not where its future lies. Playback of a Netflix streaming movie starts a few seconds after download begins. Subscribers instantly watch movies and TV episodes streamed over the internet to PCs, Macs, game consoles, tablets, smartphones and TVs. Among the devices streaming from Netflix are Microsoft’s Xbox 360, Nintendo’s Wii and Sony’s PS3 consoles; an array of Blu-ray disc players, internet-connected TVs, home theater systems, digital video recorders and internet video players; Apple’s iPhone, iPad and iPod touch, as well as Apple TV and Google TV. The Netflix streaming content library includes media acquired through deals with corporations such as: ABC, Nickelodeon, Disney, Twentieth Century Fox, Paramount, Miramax, Lionsgate, MGM and CBS, among others. Additionally, through its Netflix Originals division, the company produces content available exclusively on Netflix, which continue to rack up growing numbers of Emmy nominations. The company spent $5 billion on content in 2016 (three times HBO’s production budget). Netflix’s efforts to shift to streaming video not only is cost effective, it is also positioning the company to take on cable channels such as HBO and Showtime. Operating on a business model

www.plunkettresearch.com

dramatically different from those of cable TV channels, Netflix has become a true web-based entertainment platform, highly competitive with traditional cable networks and systems. Development of Lower-Cost Subscriptions and Online Video Streaming Platforms: In an effort to attract consumers who are not willing to pay for traditional cable and satellite subscriptions, many companies are offering stripped-down packages with limited programing. Some of these services are cable- or satellite-based, but many are delivered only via the internet. These services are offered by top cable, satellite and media firms including: CBS, DIRECTV, Hulu, Netflix, DISH and HBO. The competition is already intense, and others may jump into the fray. Watch for business models and offerings to evolve, as providers attempt to establish market share and attain profitability on these platforms. Comcast’s Digital Economy Service, a cablebased offering, includes only local broadcast channels and a limited selection of cable channels. Time Warner Cable offers a basic package that offers up to 200 digital channels and 100 HD channels, with on demand programs at no extra cost. Satellite provider DirecTV offers its own version, calling it a family package. In early 2015, DISH Network introduced Sling TV, a moderately priced streaming internet-based service targeting young, mobile-intense viewers who refuse to subscribe to cable TV. Sling TV offers 12 of the most popular cable networks including ESPN, the Disney Channel, the Food Network, HGTV, TNT, TBS and CNN (but broadcast networks ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox are not included). Users can buy ad-on channels at modest cost. Vital differences from cable TV subscriptions include no long-term contract, a vastly lower monthly fee (in exchange for a much smaller selection of channels), no credit check and no need for additional hardware. CBS All Access, a streaming service launched in 2014, had about 1.2 million subscribers by late 2016 with service available in more than 90% of the U.S. CBS holds back key content (such as its popular NCIS crime investigation series) from other streaming providers. Meanwhile, AT&T, after its $50 billion acquisition of DirecTV in 2015, launched DirecTV Now at reasonable prices. It offers streaming bundles of live channels and on-demand content. Sony’s launch of its cloud-based TV service, called PlayStation Vue, is another competitor. Sony is relying on its base of millions of PlayStation video

Plunkett Research, Ltd.

game users to help grow this new service. Vue includes content from CBS, Fox, Viacom and NBCUniversal. Vue offers a package of live TV channels, TV episodes on-demand and DVR capabilities with content streamed from existing internet connections. Users are not asked to sign a long-term contract. Apple’s iTunes offers films and TV shows from most major U.S. studios. Feature length films can download quickly if the customer has very high speed broadband access, and may be purchased or rented online. Amazon Instant Video offers its Prime premium service with the ability to watch a vast selection of titles instantly. In April 2014, Amazon entered the TV hardware arena with the launch of Fire, an inexpensive device for streaming video and games. By late 2016, the company had expanded Amazon Prime Video services to more than 200 countries and territories, and was in talks with professional sports leagues in the U.S. for rights to air live games. Streaming one hour of a standard movie via Netflix can use 1 gigabit of bandwidth at standard settings. However, Netflix offers a reduced bandwidth setting that can reduce this by 70% to 300 megabits. High definition movies can require up to 3 gigabits of bandwidth per hour. These requirements create both headaches and revenue opportunities for internet service providers of all types, from cable to DSL to smartphone service. Simply put, downloading or streaming a movie uses up vast amounts of bandwidth and places great strain on internet providers' infrastructure, whether wired or wireless. An in this regard is the rejection of the concept of “net neutrality” by U.S. courts in early 2014. Neutrality, favored by providers of entertainment, data and search services, would mean that such firms’ services received equal treatment and fast delivery, regardless of how much bandwidth they sucked up or how much it was costing internet providers such as Comcast and Verizon to make such content available. Neutrality was officially favored by the FCC, the agency that regulates U.S. internet providers. However, in January 2014, a federal appeals court in Washington DC ruled that the FCC's neutrality regulations were invalid. The court stated that service providers, such as Verizon, must disclose how they are managing traffic, but are no longer blocked from favoring some traffic over others. That means that internet carriers can charge firms such as Netflix, Amazon, Hulu or Google, for preference in terms of delivery and speed.

www.plunkettresearch.com

Meanwhile, in early 2016, the FCC announced that it is considering the creation of a regulation that would require satellite and cable TV firms to allow consumers to choose any set top box of their choice, essentially unlocking the systems for all types of firms desiring to create new interfaces for TV subscribers. Currently, subscribers are tied to the box provided by the service providers, such as Comcast, and the FCC estimates that consumers are paying an average of $231 yearly to lease those boxes. 20) Quality of Care and Health Care Outcomes Data Are Available Online, Creating a New Level of Transparency From the earliest days of the internet, one of the most popular activities online has been searching for information about illness, disease, pharmaceuticals and their side effects, as well as information related to care and diagnosis, such as options for surgery. Now, online activity about health care has risen to a massive level. With rapidly rising health care costs and concerns about the quality of care received for the dollar spent, many patients, employers and insurance providers are using online databases for information regarding doctors and hospitals—call it comparison shopping for health care. For example, there are growing numbers of web sites that track data on hospitals, such as the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ web site, Hospital Compare (www.medicare.gov/hospitalcompare/search.html). Hospital Compare uses data from Medicare and Medicaid to track performance at thousands of facilities across the U.S. Also, many insurers make hospital data available to members on their web sites. These databases typically enable an insurer or patient to compare specific hospitals to the national average on statistics such as mortality rates. For example, the Hospital Compare site compares each hospital in Houston, Texas to the Texas state average and to the national average. Data includes many items concerning patient experiences and satisfaction, surgical outcomes, readmission, hospital-related infections, and time spent waiting for care in emergency rooms. Also, average costs for various types of procedures are now available online on web sites that are attempting to earn profits from such services, although the quality of the data may vary. The Medicare claims database is a digital record of the bills Medicare pays. It is used by federal investigators to sniff out fraud and for analysis by researchers and consultants for cost and utilization studies. Medicare has begun making some data about

Plunkett Research, Ltd.

payments to individual physicians available. The database covers millions of caregivers and beneficiaries, but it is prohibited by law from disclosing patients’ names. Internet Research Tip: Top web sites for health care information include: National Cancer Institute, www.cancer.gov Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), www.cdc.gov FamilyDoctor.org, www.familydoctor.org Health Finder, www.healthfinder.gov , a service of the U.S. Dept. of Health & Human Services KidsHealth, www.kidshealth.org Mayo Clinic, www.mayoclinic.org NIH SeniorHealth, http://nihseniorhealth.gov Medscape, www.medscape.com Internet Research Tip—Checking a Web Site’s Accuracy Rating: When researching health care web sites, look for the seal of approval from the Health on the Net Foundation (www.hon.ch), a nonprofit organization based in Geneva, Switzerland. Founded in 1995 at the behest of international medical experts, the foundation approves medical web sites that meet or exceed its guidelines. Elsewhere, corporations in various segments of the health industry may publish interesting cost and outcomes information. For example, health diagnostics and monitoring devices firm Alere, formerly Inverness Medical Innovations, Inc., provides an online database giving the exact CPT procedure code and Medicare reimbursement rate for hundreds of procedures such as cholesterol tests at www.codemap.com/alere. The data is sorted geographically as well as by type of care. Data on individual doctors is becoming available online, at such web sites as www.drscore.com and www.findadoc.com. Another site for information about certain doctors and hospitals is Consumer Health Ratings (www.consumerhealthratings.com). The quality of the data from such sites may vary, and one should use caution. Nonetheless, the information is intriguing. Findadoc, for example, enables the user to look up doctors by location and specialty, and then view their hospital affiliations, languages spoken and patient ratings for such qualities as bedside manner and wait time. Quantum Health (www.quantum-health.com), a Columbus, Ohio health care coordinator, offers comparative health care data to its corporate clients,

www.plunkettresearch.com

plus a laundry list of services that help employees covered by company insurance navigate the often confusing health care system and get the most out of their health benefits. Quantum Health services include informing patients of what questions they should ask their physicians about their conditions, assistance in finding specialists, advice on medical tests that should or should not be taken and education on disease management and prevention. Quantum reports that its employer clients have enjoyed reduced spending on workers’ health care, thanks to reductions in waste and unnecessary care, better results from disease management and a 25% reduction in health benefits-related workload. Two of its most impressive statistics are a 22% reduction in readmissions and a 4% reduction in emergency room usage. The Affordable Care Act of 2010 (ACA) includes a provision that hospitals and doctors that score poorly on patient surveys can be denied Medicare reimbursement fees. Surveys such as those from Press Ganey, Gallup and National Research Corp., on which patients score health care providers on care experiences (based on patient surveys) including waiting times, pain relief and bedside manner, are becoming powerful arbiters in how patients are treated.

There has been steady, significant growth in mobile banking. By 2015, a survey conducted by the U.S. Federal Reserve found that 52% of cellphone users who have bank accounts used mobile banking systems, compared to only 39% in 2014. Smartphones can handle deposits and transfers between accounts, in addition to bill paying, which can be done by using

Plunkett Research, Ltd.

the phone to take a photo of a monthly payment coupon. Texas-based First Financial Bank saw 53% of its active mobile users download a photo bill payment app in the first 24 hours of availability. Banks have learned that combining the convenience of online banking with a chain of branch locations and ATMs allows them to fill the entire range of many customers' needs. This is similar to the trend among major retailers of combining ecommerce and physical storefronts, thereby creating synergies between bricks and clicks. Virtually all banks now have web sites where customers can monitor the status of their accounts, including checking, savings, investments and loans; make money-transfers to pay bills; and apply for services online. For the most part, online banking has been an enormous success. In the wake of the 2008-09 financial crisis, banks have been under pressure to cut costs. Many have done so by closing branch locations. Thousands of U.S. branch locations have closed. Online banking, in combination with ATMs, goes a long way to fill the gap left by fewer brick and mortar bank locations. The end result is greater operating efficiency for banks. Nonetheless, online banking presents a long list of costs and challenges, including security and hacking issues. Online banking is more attractive than ever to many customers, thanks to technology that allows easy, fast tracking of multiple accounts using a single online tool. Information technology firm Yodlee, Inc. (www.yodlee.com) was an early leader in making online banking more convenient. It offers a product called MoneyCenter that affords consumers the ability to track spending across all accounts, regardless of the number of different institutions that hold those accounts. In addition, Yodlee MoneyCenter speeds bill payments, enabling funds to be transferred on the same day that the bill is paid. Bank of America offers its own money management tool that categorizes expenses across a number of accounts. A number of banks are targeting America’s massive Generation Y as a growth sector for new customers (referring to 85+ million people born between 1982 and 2002). Strategies include updated financial sites that offer services such as bill paying, fund transfers, multiple accounts management and investment options. PNC Financial’s Virtual Wallet, for example, offers cutting edge online tools to appeal to customers who understand how to research information online, but not necessarily how to manage money. Mint.com, a site from Intuit, Inc., is

www.plunkettresearch.com

quickly becoming one of the most popular financial tools in the internet. It offers free credit scores in addition to multiple account management and investment tracking. In early 2014, Spanish banking firm BBVA acquired Simple, an online financial platform, for $117 million. The deal was handled through BBVA Compass Bankshares subsidiary. Simple offers a debit card managed via smartphone or PC, and traces spending as well as offers prompts to save money. Another formerly online-only bank, GoBank, targets young 20-somethings in the U.S. who prefer to perform some banking tasks (such as checking balances) on their cellphones. Fees are minimal, and there are no minimum balance requirements. GoBank is owned by Green Dot Corporation, which also owns Green Dot Bank where assets deposited by GoBank users are held. In 2014, Green Dot partnered with Wal-Mart to launch GoBank checking accounts. Other online-only banks, including Simple and Moven, are actually banking service providers that depend on brick and mortar banks such as Bancorp Bank and CBW Bank to hold assets and provide additional banking functions. ING Direct, an online bank that, until recently, was a U.S. subsidiary of the Dutch insurance and financial services conglomerate ING Group, has been a fierce competitor in the online banking sector. In June 2011, ING Group agreed to sell ING Direct USA to Capital One Financial Corporation for $9 billion, a strong vote of confidence in the future of online banking. In an interesting marketing ploy, the firm operates several internet cafes in cities such as Chicago; Honolulu; Wilmington, Delaware; and St. Cloud, Minnesota to promote its brand. Among other activities, ING offers investment seminars from time to time in its cafes. Online-only banks can offer customers slightly higher interest rates for savings, due to the fact that the banks do not have to bear the cost of maintaining branches. E*Trade Financial, a major online stock broker, entered the online and electronic banking field in a big way. It owns a nationwide system of ATMs under the E*Trade brand and has a rapidly growing base of online bank deposits. Companies that offer a network of ATMs and physical branches, as well as online services, find the combination to be extremely effective. It costs a modest amount to service a customer who primarily relies on online services to manage accounts and relies on ATMs to get cash. The extremely rapid growth of broadband internet access in U.S. homes and businesses, along with the now-massive number

Plunkett Research, Ltd.

of people accessing the internet via smartphones, encourages banks to fill their internet sites with multiple robust features. Brick and mortar branches still offer a few services that online banks cannot, such as cashier’s checks and safe deposit boxes, and a large percentage of customers want to know they can walk into a branch for assistance when needed. By 2017, Bank of America had opened a small number of employee-free branches, where customers can use ATMs and converse with remote tellers via video phones. Many banks’ web sites offer image recognition; that is, they display pre-chosen images such as flowers or puppies when a customer enters a user name. If the customer does not recognize the picture, he or she knows it is not safe to log in. Bank of America offers SafePass, a 6-digit, one-time passcode sent as a text message to customers’ mobile phones which can then be used to authorize fund transfers, administer the online payment system and receive higher transfer limits. Major security software providers include RSA, the security division of EMC Corporation (www.rsa.com/en-us), Symantec (www.symantec.com) and Entrust (www.entrust.com). Biometrics are becoming more common with regard to smartphone security. Customers by the millions at Wells Fargo, Bank of America and JP Morgan Chase use fingerprints to log into their bank accounts via smartphone. Retinal scans are also in use at Wells Fargo for corporate accounts. In addition, Citigroup uses voice recognition to verify its credit card customers. As for the future, many analysts expect tools known as chatbots to quickly grow in use for mobile and online banking. Chatbots are computer programs that simulate conversation with customers via ATM screens and smartphones. Already in use to answer simple questions about recent transactions and spending limits, chatbots will likely become fullscale automated financial assistants capable of making payments and tracking budgets.

SPOTLIGHT: Bank Cafes, Non-Traditional Branch Banks A new twist on brick and mortar bank branches are new cafes that offer gourmet coffee, free Wi-Fi and staff that help customers use the sponsoring bank’s web site and answer questions about the bank’s services. There are no tellers and customers may perform banking tasks themselves online via laptop or smartphone. Capital One Financial opened just such a café in Boston in 2015 (in addition to several other U.S. locations). Bank of America, J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. and PNC Financial Services Group are also trying to cut the number of tellers and alternatively have “relationship bankers” assist customers in using cutting edge ATMs or demonstrating banking tasks on personal devices. The number of branch banks has been plummeting in the U.S. for several years. 22) Insurance Direct Selling and ECommerce Grow The roles of insurance intermediaries and agents, along with the overall structure of the insurance market, are changing dramatically as a result of ecommerce influences. Insurance sites on the internet enable consumers to generate a large number of competing insurance quotes within seconds. Because the tasks of providing information and writing transactions have typically been the primary functions of insurance agents, electronic markets that can perform these tasks more efficiently and with fewer costs threaten to displace agents. The future role of the insurance agent may evolve toward valueadded customer service and consultation. This is similar to the evolution of the role of travel agents since the booming popularity of booking travel reservations via the internet. The extremely rapid adoption of smartphones on a global basis means that firms that deal with consumer lines such as auto insurance must adopt mobile strategies in order to gain new customers and satisfy the service needs of existing account. Thanks to extremely successful direct sales efforts by firms like GEICO and Progressive, direct sales in the U.S. personal auto insurance market are booming. Direct marketing is also taking over in nations other than the U.S., with a signification portion of all new car insurance policies in the UK, for example, sold through direct marketing. Independent agencies will continue to lose market share as technology and direct sales gain in use. Independent agents face tough and growing competition from internet-based sales. At the same

Plunkett Research, Ltd.

time, underwriters utilizing captive agency systems have found growth opportunities by increasing ecommerce efforts or acquiring independent agencies and integrating them into their captive systems. The internet is an extremely effective way for underwriter web sites to generate leads for captive agencies. Moreover, thanks to the growing success of internet sites that enable consumers to shop for the best life insurance prices, direct selling is playing a growing role in the life sector as well. Meanwhile, comScore announced in its 2015 U.S. Online Auto Insurance Shopping Report that 71% of auto insurance shoppers got quotes online, up from 67% in 2013. The internet is playing a big role in the homeowner’s market as well. For example, Liberty Mutual, GEICO and State Farm make it extremely fast and convenient for consumers to get homeowner’s quotes online. Thanks in part to the rising popularity of ecommerce, many insurance underwriters are now utilizing both direct sales and sales through agents in their business models. For example, the Progressive Corporation, an underwriter of automobile insurance, makes buying insurance online or over the phone extremely user-friendly. At the same time, it offers its auto insurance policies through about 30,000 independent agents, one of the largest agent networks in the U.S. Log onto www.progressive.com and you can get an instant quote on a policy for an automobile, motorcycle, boat or recreational vehicle, in addition to homeowner’s and renter’s insurance. Customers can also use the Progressive web site to file a claim or make a payment. Its easy-to-use web site (which includes pages in Spanish) is part of Progressive’s overall strategy to utilize a high level of service, advanced technologies and direct sales to offer a competitive combination of coverage, service and pricing. Meanwhile, Progressive also uses the internet to promote business for its independent agents. With the www.progressiveagent.com/home.aspx web site, Progressive encourages consumers to use the internet to locate an agent. Over 1 million consumers used the web site during its first 10 months, thanks to heavy promotional advertising. Insurers selling over the internet may enjoy a substantial cost advantage over the course of a customer’s lifetime, relative to non-internet-based insurers. This is due to reduced sales costs, lower customer service expenses and more advanced information-gathering capacities. Consequently, ecommerce has prompted many insurers to upgrade and integrate their information systems.

As of the end of 2015, Plunkett Research estimated that broadband connections at homes and businesses in the U.S. totaled more than 352.4 million (including mobile, residential and office subscriptions). In order to remain competitive, insurance firms are forced to attempt to capitalize on the vast size of the online consumer market. The increased value of online connections results in decreased transaction costs. Products such as travel, credit or burial insurance have relatively high fixed costs and low value, but nonetheless have significant transaction costs when sold via traditional methods. Consequently, customers purchasing these products generally pay a high price per dollar of coverage. The internet can automate the sales and underwriting process for such insurance products. This means that prices can be lowered and more insurance can be sold by reducing transaction costs. Increased access through e-commerce is also influencing some consumers to purchase broader, high-value insurance products, such as liability umbrellas. Meanwhile, the security of insurance customers’ data online is an important consideration, since large amounts of highly personal information are at stake. Banks are becoming increasingly competitive in insurance sales, partly because they are adopting direct marketing methods. Large numbers of bank holding companies have acquired or established insurance agency subsidiaries. While these subsidiaries may operate using traditional agents, many of them use substantial direct marketing as well. For example, if you are a Bank of America customer, you are likely to receive life insurance offers in your monthly bank statements. This generates insurance leads for Bank of America at nominal cost. Some rather unlikely players are getting into the insurance business. Wal-Mart is in a partnership with Autoinsurance.com, in which the insurer leases space in Wal-Mart stores, affording the insurance company access to the retailer’s millions of weekly shoppers. Google also has an insurance partnership with Comparenow, a U.S. comparison web site owned by British insurance firm Admiral Group. Google’s vast cache of data about consumer backgrounds, tastes and habits make it and ideal partner to insurance companies.

It refers to wireless communications known as M2M or machine-to-machine. M2M can be as simple as a refrigerator that lets a smartphone app know when you are running low on milk (via Wi-Fi) to a vast, exceedingly complex network of wireless devices connecting all of the devices in a massive factory. A Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) consists of a grouping of remote sensors that transmit data wirelessly to a receiver that is collecting information into a database. Special controls may alert the network’s manager to changes in the environment, traffic or hazardous conditions within the vicinity of the sensors. Long-term collection of data from remote sensors can be used to establish patterns and make predictions, as well as to manage surveillance in real time. Another term that is coming into wide use is M2M2P or machine-to-machine-to-people. The “to-people” part refers to the fact that consumers, workers and professionals will increasingly be actively involved in the gathering of data, its analysis and its usage. For example, M2M2P systems that automatically collect data from patients’ bedsides; analyze, chart and store that data; and make the data available to doctors or nurses so that they may take

www.plunkettresearch.com

any necessary actions are becoming increasingly powerful. Such systems, part of the growing trend of electronic health records (EHR), can also include bedside comments spoken into tablet computers by physicians that are transcribed automatically by voice recognition software and then stored into EHR. The long term trend of miniaturization is playing a vital role in M2M. Intel and other firms are working on convergence of MEMS (microelectromechanical systems—tiny devices or switches that can measure changes such as acceleration or vibration), RFID (wireless radio frequency identification devices) and sometimes tiny computer processors (microprocessors embedded with software). In a small but powerful package, such remote sensors can monitor and transmit the stress level or metal fatigue in a highway bridge or an aircraft wing, or monitor manufacturing processes and product quality in a factory. In our age of growing focus on environmental quality, they can be designed to analyze surrounding air for chemicals, pollutants or particles, using lab on a chip technology that already largely exists. Some observers have referred to these wireless sensors as “smart dust,” expecting vast quantities of them to be scattered about the Earth as the sensors become smaller and less expensive over the near future. Energy efficiency is going to benefit greatly, particularly in newly-built offices and factories. An important use of advanced sensors will be to monitor and control energy efficiency on a room-by-room, or even square meter-by-square meter, basis in large buildings. In an almost infinite variety of possible, efficiency-enhancing applications, artificial intelligence (AI) software can use data gathered from smart dust to forecast needed changes, and robotics or microswitches can then act upon that data, making adjustments in processes automatically. For example, such a system of sensors and controls could make adjustments to the amount of an ingredient being added to the assembly line in a paint factory or food processing plant; increase fresh air flow to a factory room; or adjust air conditioning output in one room while leaving a nearby hallway as is. The ability to monitor conditions such as these 24/7, and provide instant analysis and reporting to engineers, means that potential problems can be deterred, manufacturing defects can be avoided and energy efficiency can be enhanced dramatically. Virtually all industry sectors and processes will benefit. Look for data sensors in homes to proliferate over the near- to mid-term. In the insurance business, live data emanating from sensors in homes could lead

Plunkett Research, Ltd.

to more intelligent policies. Monitoring data via smartphone could be a significant opportunity for companies in the senior care, child care and pet care sectors. Internet Research Tip: The Internet of Things Connections Counter and Infographic: Network equipment maker Cisco has posted a “Connections Counter” online, which provides a running count of people and things connected to the internet, http://newsroom.cisco.com/ioe . This page also provides many useful links to Internet of Things resources. In addition, Cisco posts a highly informative Internet of Things page at www.cisco.com/web/solutions/trends/iot/overview.ht ml which includes a two-minute IoT video. The growth potential of M2M is enormous, and many facets of industry and society will benefit. However, it is difficult at this stage to estimate just how big the market may become. According to HIS, about 17.6 billion devices were connected to the internet as of 2016, with about 30.7 billion devices to be connected by 2020. These numbers are far below an estimate made by Cisco in 2015, which forecast 50 billion by 2020. Nonetheless, the market is clearly of enormous proportions. General Electric sees vast promise in connecting everyday items, such as light bulbs, to the Internet of Things. One outcome will be greater energy efficiency. In late 2015, the firm forecast that the year 2020 would see 1 billion connected electric meters, 100 million connected light bulbs and 152 million connected cars, worldwide, by 2020. Meanwhile, French technology firm SigFox offers a simple, inexpensive wireless network, designed specifically for M2M needs. The network transmits data at a rate of 100 bits per second, which is slower by a factor of 1,000 than most smartphone networks, but does so cheaply while it fills simple transmission needs such as those from many wireless sensors (such as Whistle, a clip-on collar sensor that tracks dog activity levels). Base stations use a wireless chip that costs only $1 to $2, and customers pay modest service charges per year per device. As of mid-2016, SigFox had deployed its technology in about 20 countries, covering approximately 460 thousand square miles. It plans to roll out its network in 60 countries by 2020. Intel and other firms have developed methods that enable such remote sensors to bypass the need for internal batteries. Instead, they can run on

www.plunkettresearch.com

“power harvesting circuits” that are able to reap power from nearby television signals, FM radio signals, Wi-Fi networks or RFID readers. Memory chips used in sensors are much smaller than those in smartphones and laptops, opening a major opportunity for manufacturers such as Adesto Technologies. The firm makes chips that store between 32 kilobits and one megabit of data, making them a good fit for small monitors such as fitness data tracking wristbands. Future applications might include location-based beacons in retail stores that alert nearby customers to selected items by cellphone. Smoke detectors with small memory chips could sense battery life, while blood transfusion bags could track their locations, ages and content viabilities. IBM is investing $3 billion between 2015 and 2019 in alliance with the Weather Company (which owns The Weather Channel). IBM plans to use data regarding weather conditions to empower businesses in insurance, energy, retail and logistics to make better decisions. Working with the Weather Company, it has access to the Weather Channel’s 700,000 forecasts per second. General Electric (GE) launched a new operating system and platform called Predix Cloud in 2015. The goal is to help manufacturers connect to industrial sensors that collect and analyze data, delivering insights for optimizing industrial infrastructure and operations in real time. As of mid-2016, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) was considering bids for a spectrum auction of licenses to transmit in the 600 megahertz band, a low-frequency bandwidth that enables relatively small amounts of data to be transmitted across long distances and penetrate objects like buildings, metal doors and concrete walls, obstacles that can make traditional cell reception difficult if not impossible. Wireless carriers could set up and maintain a host of devices (everything from smoke detectors to flood sensors to security systems and thermostat controls) with constant access to clear, secure signals. Consumers could easily use their smartphones to turn on their air conditioners, check door locks or cut the water supply if the washing machine overflows, regardless of where they happen to be at the time.

(a subsidiary of Linear Networks), www.linear.com/products/wireless_sensor_netwo rks_-_dust_networks Moog Crossbow Technology, www.xbow.com 24) Manhattan’s FreshDirect Sets the Pace in Grocery Sales Over the Internet/Amazon Competes in Groceries The Holy Grail of e-commerce is to convince grocery shoppers to order over the internet. Online grocery selling is such an appealing target because of the sheer size of the retail grocery market (over $700 billion in the U.S. in 2016 according to the Department of Commerce). However, creating a viable online grocery business has proved to be a daunting challenge. Food retailing, with its highly perishable inventory, is a low-profit-margin enterprise—one in which consumers tend to make multiple trips to the market each month to select and purchase first-hand. Estimates of the size of the online groceries market vary to some extent. Kantar Retail reported that in 2015, online spending on food and alcohol reached $9 billion or 1% of total spending. The firm expects online spending to rise to 5.4% or $59 billion by 2021. Analysts at Cowen Group expect online grocery spending to grow from about $33 billion in 2016 to $70 billion by 2021. The most closely-watched online grocer in the industry today is FreshDirect LLC, a unique business launched in 2001. FreshDirect is an online retail grocery business serving customers in New York City and the surrounding areas. It offers fresh food and grocery items, including fruits and vegetables, meat, seafood, deli items, cheese, dairy, coffee, tea, bakery goods, pasta and frozen food as well as kosher, gluten free, local and organic produce, health and beauty items and wine. It also provides catering services and a full line of ready-to-heat meals prepared by its on-staff chefs. FreshDirect owns and operates a 300,000-square-foot state-of-the-art processing facility, which enables the company to process and ship fresh meats, produce and dairy products quickly and efficiently. The company is also often able to offer lower prices than traditional retail grocers, due to the lack of the need to operate

expensive retail stores. Products may be delivered in the mornings if the order is placed by 7 p.m. the previous day and in the evenings if placed by 11 p.m. Deliveries are made from 6:30 a.m.-11:00 p.m. seven days a week. Customers can also pick up their orders at the distribution facility. As of early 2016, the firm served select counties in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania and Delaware. Peapod, an aggressive home grocery delivery service that has been in business since 1989, has built a base of online shoppers slowly but surely. Peapod had a presence in 24 major cities and suburban areas as of early 2016, including cities in Massachusetts, Virginia, Maryland, Wisconsin, Washington, D.C., Connecticut, New York, Rhode Island, Illinois, Indiana and New Jersey. Peapod entered the New York City market for the first time in 2011, where it must compete directly against FreshDirect. Customers order online via Peapod.com and, for a fee, receive home delivery of their groceries, which are packed at warehouses near participating supermarkets. Despite its lengthy history and wealth of experience, Peapod struggled financially at first. It was acquired in 2001 by one of the world’s largest supermarket chains, European-based Royal Ahold, through its Ahold USA unit. Royal Ahold stated that Peapod would help the parent firm triple its global online grocery sales to $2 billion by 2016. Amazon.com joined the online grocery market in mid-2006. Amazon started by offering only nonperishable items via its normal website. However, it soon began a special service in select regions, where it accepts online orders and makes deliveries of fresh produce, dairy, meats and fish. In late 2014, Amazon launched Prime Now, which delivers in a growing list of U.S. cities in as little as an hour by bike messenger. In late 2016, Amazon opened its first brick and mortar grocery store called Amazon Go in Seattle, Washington. The 1,800 square-foot store offers prepared foods and grocery staples, and requires shoppers to scan a smartphone app linked to an Amazon account upon arrival. The app maintains a virtual cart of the items selected by the shopper, and charges the related account accordingly when the shopper leaves the store, without any interaction with a human cashier. Initially open only to Amazon employees for testing, the company plans to open the store to the public in 2017. Later stores may offer curbside pickup service. Wal-Mart offers Walmart Grocery, a pickup and delivery service in which online orders can be picked up at store drive-through lanes, often on the same day. The firm also offers same day delivery in select

Plunkett Research, Ltd.

U.S. markets, and plans to offer it in more than 1,000 stores by late 2017. Kroger also offers a click and collect service called ClickList in an expanding list of stores that numbered 450 by the beginning of 2017. Another twist on grocery shopping online is Instacart, a San Francisco-based startup that models online shopping, somewhat on the same business model as Uber. Customers use an app to enter a list of groceries and other items they want and nearby shoppers pick up the items and deliver them using their own cars, bikes or other transportation. Shoppers are independent contractors. This work may be attractive to people like students or stay-athome parents who want to control their own schedules while making extra money. Instacart charges a delivery fee and marks up store prices about 20% for each item delivered. Online grocery shoppers tend to be busy professionals, time-challenged parents of small children or people who largely stay at home because of a lack of mobility. They tend to be better educated and make larger average purchases than walk-in store customers. They also tend to be very loyal, because they are seeking a timesaving convenience. Watch for steady growth in online grocery sales, driven largely by marketing initiatives at existing supermarket firms rather than startups. SPOTLIGHT: Munchery Founded in 2010, Munchery is a restaurantquality meal-on-demand service that offered service in the San Francisco Bay area, Seattle, New York and Los Angeles as of 2016. The firm is working to keep costs down by buying high-quality ingredients in bulk, using single kitchen in less-expensive parts of the cities served and using advanced cooking techniques to cut down on labor. The company is targeting both affluent and middle- to low-income families who don’t have the time to shop and cook but want an alternative to junk food. 25) Designers and Manufacturers Bypass the Middleman with Direct-toConsumer Online Business Models Digital marketing, the power of ecommerce and today’s simple access to global manufacturers have combined to launch another interesting trend: companies that claim to source their merchandise at the same manufacturers used by well-known brands, and then sell, via their web sites only, high quality items direct to consumers are modest prices. The intent is to bypass middlemen and retail stores, and thus offer very high value.

www.plunkettresearch.com

New apparel companies are among the leaders in this field. One of the better known companies with this business model is Everlane, www.everlane.com, which states, “We spend months finding the best factories around the world—the very same ones that produce your favorite designer labels.” Online apparel firms with similar business models include JustFab, ShoeDazzle and BirchBox. In fact, the list has gotten very long. Such companies must offer excellent service, reasonable prices and cost-free returns, in addition to a compelling merchandise line, in order to competitive. Even when they do so, there is reason to question whether or not they can compete successfully against companies such as Ralph Lauren that have massive supply chains, unbeatable design and marketing teams and immense buying power. If apparel manufacturers that rely on traditional marketing feel threatened by online-only, off-brand upstarts, it would be simple enough for them to launch their own businesses based on this business model, using a different brand name in order to avoid sales channel conflicts. Meanwhile, brands and logos owned by companies like Ralph Lauren are extremely powerful in the minds of consumers and are exceptionally difficult for smaller firms to compete against. There is also the “wait for name brands to go on sale” mentality that is now standard in consumer behavior. That is, department stores and specialty clothing retailers have essentially trained consumers to expect their favorite apparel brands to be on sale. If you see something new that you like in stores today at full retail price, you know that it will almost undoubtedly be marked down by 25% to 40% soon. At the end of the season it may be marked down by as much as 70%. Nonetheless, there are some niche markets where the direct to consumer model may make a lot of sense. Eyeglasses are a standout in this regard. Once a consumer’s eye exam is completed and a prescription written, glasses can be made virtually anywhere. Traditionally, however, consumers have ordered their eyeglasses (in particular, expensive designer frames) in expensive retail store fronts that operate at high overhead. Consumers can try out various styles of frames in these stores, and turn over their prescription to a sales clerk so that glasses can be custom ordered. However, the actual manufacturing of lenses, and their assembly into frames, will be done elsewhere. This is where a successful new company called Warby Parker comes in. Its founder saw opportunity

Plunkett Research, Ltd.

in this multi-step supply chain and notoriously high prices. At www.warbyparker.com, customers can select from basic frame styles, upload their prescriptions and order attractive glasses for around $100 to $300, which is a comparative bargain. While Warby Parker has built a considerable following with its online business model, its strategy includes both bricks and clicks, as it is opening a growing number of retail showrooms in major cities in the U.S. (Of course, there has long been a modestly-priced alternative in the eyeglasses market: companies that operate hundreds of storefronts that offer both eye exams and frame selections. After the exam and sale, the eyeglasses are manufactured in a lab owned by the same firm that owns and operates the stores. This vertical integration can offer relatively low prices at high volume, but may not appeal to fashion conscious consumers.) Large numbers of direct-to-consumer businesses are springing up offering everything from custom shirts to bed linens to shoes. Deal Décor sells furniture under this model. Crane and Canopy has gotten good press coverage of its business model, which is very similar to that of Everlane. This firm, at www.craneandcanopy.com, sells sheets, duvet covers and other bed linens that it claims are from the same factories, with the same quality textiles, as those offered by designer labels. Here again, the price is lower than standard retail prices found in stores, at least until such stores put their goods on sale. The business of shipping goods directly from manufacturers in China to consumers around the world is booming. Chinese retailer LightInTheBox offers more than 700,000 items, from wedding dresses to table linens to iPhone chargers to faucets, at competitive prices that are free of middleman markups. Costs are kept down further by LightInTheBox’s proximity to its suppliers, so that its inventory is kept low. The company does business in 27 languages, so it employs part-time workers from around the world who connect with customers via phone and email. 26) Light-Weight Satellites and Project Loon Balloons Studied for Internet Access and Whole-Earth Imaging A company called Planet Labs, Inc., which builds small satellites for Earth observation, has raised significant investor financing. It operates under the brand “Planet,” and utilizes commonly available electronics components to manufacture and launch satellites at breakthrough prices. In early 2017, it

www.plunkettresearch.com

announced that it had acquired Google’s own satellite business unit, known as Terra Bella, in exchange for stock in Planet. This gives Planet an excellent base of very high resolution imaging satellites to complement the medium resolution satellites that have been Planet’s main focus. Planet planned an early 2017 launch of 88 satellites to add to its existing base of 60. Earlier, Planet had picked up five satellites with its acquisition of RapidEye. Meanwhile, Facebook has been working on a cooperative called Internet.org with Samsung, Nokia, Qualcomm and Ericsson in an effort to cut costs of broadband via smartphones. The hope is to lower the costs for a unit of wireless access to 1% of 2012 levels by 2022. (That is, the organization thinks that current access costs are about 100 times too expensive to be useful to remote, extremely lowincome people who currently are not online.) This is an extremely ambitious goal. Cuts might be made by improving network and smartphone software efficiency. For example, Facebook is developing strategies to reduce the average amount of data used by its Android mobile app from 12 megabytes per day to 1 megabyte. ViaSat, Inc. provides broadband access for passengers on JetBlue Airways and Qantas Airways using advanced technology installed on a small number of large, extra-powerful satellites. The company is working on ViaSat-3, its most powerful spacecraft to date, to increase its coverage area based on shifting demand. The craft is planned for launch into orbit by mid-2019 with service beginning in 2020. Google has also backed an internal program, called Project Loon, that is studying the use of 49foot tall helium balloons positioned high in the atmosphere in strategic locations to beam internet access to remote areas. Google balloons are capable of acting as flying base stations that communicate directly with mobile devices on the ground. Recent tests of Loon balloons found them capable of staying airborne for up to six months. (Google pulled the plug on a project attempting to develop solarpowered drones that would circle at very high altitude and beam internet access to the ground. Costs were considered to be too high.) Facebook has been investigating solar-powered drones, as well as satellites and lasers that might deliver internet access to the underserved billions (Facebook hit a snag in early 2016 when Indian regulators banned free mobile data programs that favor certain internet services over others).

Plunkett Research, Ltd.

The end goal of all of these ideas is to boost global internet usage, which would mean billions of new potential users for Google and Facebook. Google began the effort in 2012 by offering users in some developing countries free access to Gmail and simple searches through partnerships with cellphone carriers. Another concept, low-orbit satellites are being pushed by O3b and other firms because they offer much faster internet speeds than traditional satellites. This is due to the fact that data is transmitted over a much shorter distance. Google is an investor in O3b, and Larry Alder, the Co-Leader of Google’s Alternative Access Group sat on the board of O3b as of mid-2016. Cruise ships are perfect customers for fast internet access via low-orbit satellites. RCL (Royal Caribbean Lines), one of the world’s largest cruise lines, is working with O3b to offer its passengers the ultimate in floating connectivity. (Users report that speed is definitely higher than on other cruise ships, but still subject to the fluctuations that satellite services is known for.) RCL claims that it offers more bandwidth than every other cruise ship in the world combined. Guests are encouraged to Tweet, Skype, Stream movies (using accounts with DIRECTV, Netflix or Hulu), connect with friends or play Xbox Live with gamers worldwide. Its newest ships even offer live, global gaming rooms. OneWeb, a startup headquartered in Florida, plans to launch 648 small satellites at lower orbits than those traditionally employed by communications satellites. It plans to target airlines and military customers in addition to disaster relief and emergency services. SpaceX, a rocket manufacturer backed by PayPal founder and Tesla automotive executive Elon Musk, wants to fly more complex satellites. While flying at the same low altitude as those proposed by OneWeb, SpaceX’s unit would offer faster data transmission speeds over long distances than that offered by landbased cable connections. In addition to basic internet access to rural areas, SpaceX could serve the needs of businesses with time-sensitive demands such as financial traders.

SPOTLIGHT: OneWeb and Low-Orbit Satellites OneWeb Ltd., formerly known as WorldVu, intends to be a major global provider of internet access and related telephone services. It is contracting for the manufacture and launch of a proprietary, low-earth-orbit satellite constellation to provide global coverage, particularly to parts of the Earth that currently lack reliable or affordable internet access. Its constellation will eventually consist of approximately 900 satellites that will circle the earth in order to enable affordable access. OneWeb’s satellites orbit relatively close to the earth, allowing for better internet access speeds, while they interlock with each other electronically, to create coverage over the entire planet. Small, lowcost user terminals will communicate with the satellite network and provide wireless internet access. These terminals will provide connectivity with no change in latency (speed) during satellite handovers in order to ensure continuous quality of voice, gaming and web surfing experience. Compared to traditional satellites, OneWeb units have fewer components, and are lighter in weight, easier to manufacture and cheaper to launch. The satellites contain on-board propulsion and state-ofthe-art positioning GPS sensors that ground-track their placements within meters. The on-board propulsion systems are capable of performing maneuvers to steer clear of space debris. When an OneWeb satellite nears the end of its service life, it will de-orbit automatically. The constellation launch is slated to begin as early as 2018. Investors in the firm include Qualcomm, Virgin Group, Airbus Group SE and Coca-Cola. Space launch rocket services have been contracted to Arianespace SA and Virgin Galactic. OneWeb broke ground on its $85 million high-volume satellite manufacturing plant in Exploration Park, Florida during 2016. 27) “Sharing Economy” Gains Market Share in Travel with Online Sites Like Airbnb, HomeAway and Many Global Competitors One of the most remarkable growth stories in ecommerce has been the advent of new ways to book non-traditional accommodations for travelers. This “sharing economy” (also known as collaborative consumption) affords consumers the ability to rent or borrow everything from hotel rooms to cars to private homes. An early leader was VRBO, which stands for Vacation Rental by Owner, a site that allows property owners, especially owners of second homes and resort condos, to advertise their properties online to

Plunkett Research, Ltd.

people seeking vacation accommodations. VRBO was acquired by startup HomeAway, Inc., a firm that originated when venture capital firm Austin Ventures agreed to back entrepreneur Brian Sharples in this promising business sector. The staff of Austin, Texas-based HomeAway includes many executives who were formerly at Austin-based online information company Hoovers.com. HomeAway also owns Travelmob, a sharing-economy accommodations site focused on Asia. Booking.com, a major presence in online hotel room booking and a subsidiary of Priceline, has begun offering sharedspace and vacation property listings on its site also. The biggest disruptor to the hotel industry is San Francisco-based Airbnb, Inc., founded in 2008. Airbnb.com members who are willing to let travelers stay in their homes can post their information, including pricing and accommodation details. The accommodations range from a bedroom in an occupied house or apartment to a luxury apartment or condo reserved entirely for the guest. In turn, travelers may search in a given market for members who are willing to accommodate them. Airbnb is utilized in more than 34,000 cities in 192 countries. Since its founding, the company has booked tens of millions of guest nights at its listings of more than 2 million accommodations. Members are encouraged to write reviews describing the positive and/or negative aspects of their stays. These reviews are partially encouraged so that renters and travelers may view profiles and feedback before staying in homes or letting others stay in their homes, thereby reducing the risk of danger or other negative situations. The Airbnb network is also connected to Facebook, allowing members to search the social networking platform for additional information regarding certain hosts and guests. Airbnb charges room owners a 3% host fee and an additional fee of 6% to 12% per guest. The average commission is about 12% of total revenues. The typical guest stays longer, on average, than a guest in a traditional hotel. The firm has a goal of achieving $10 billion in yearly revenues by 2020. Literally hundreds of competitors and imitators have sprung up around the world. Some are focused on particular locales, travelers or types of accommodations. For example, OneFineStay.com had raised $80 million by 2015, including a major investment from hotel firm Hyatt. It is focused on renting a curated collection of better homes and condos in major cities, including New York, Paris, Los Angeles and London.

Despite their wide popularity, room- and homesharing sites face multiple challenges. Fraud has been a problem, with unscrupulous site members collecting fees for rentals of properties that they claim to own, but are in fact owned by others. Guest safety is a serious issue. There have been accidents, dog bites, even a guest locked into his room by a host seeking sexual favors. At most sites, there are no room inspections and no way to enforce room standards. Guest room rentals may not be covered under a homeowner’s insurance policy. Likewise, such rentals may not be allowed under homeowner’s association rules and municipal law. Last, but not least, the market may become saturated, with only a limited number of properties available to add to inventory. Nonetheless, the traditional hotel industry sees room-sharing as a significant competitive threat that is already taking market share. The long-term result may be hotel chains creating their own branded sharing sites, listing both their own hotel properties and rooms or condos owned by others. Hotels may build hybrid properties as well, with apartment towers for room sharing next door to traditional hotel properties. The hotels could run the apartments to high standards, and could build oversized pools, spas and other common area facilities to be shared with guests from the apartments next door. 28) Luxury Apparel, Accessories and Shoes Soar in Online Sales After a few false starts, luxury apparel and shoe makers are marketing more and more goods over the internet. High-fashion sites featuring many different brands are proliferating. One example is YOOX SpA (www.yoox.com). The Italian site offers more than 250,000 items from designers such as Chloe, Dolce & Gabbana, Jean Paul Gaultier and Prada. Another haute site is NetA-Porter.com which was launched in 2000. Having grown to the level of millions of visitors each month, Net-A-Porter became a valuable company. In April 2010, luxury goods giant Financiere Richemont agreed to acquire the firm. In early 2015, the company was sold to YOOX. This will help cement YOOX’s position as a global leader of online luxury goods sales. Haute couture companies such as Dior, Louis Vuitton and Bottega Veneta are also operating their own web sites. Although once seen as unnecessary (or even unwanted) competition to their physical boutiques worldwide, which are extremely expensive to build and operate, company web sites are proving

Plunkett Research, Ltd.

to be absolutely necessary. At Dior, www.dior.com has been one of the firm’s fastest-growing points of sale. Unlike the company’s brick and mortar stores, the web site does not require exorbitant rent payments, world-class architecture and staggering overhead in the form of staff and customer perks. The company has been a heavy user of short videos that attract viewers back regularly to view the latest offerings. Another trend in online luxury is the broadcasting of designer trunk shows. Once held only in stores and open to favored customers only, online trunk show videos are open to the public and can be accessed for up to two weeks instead of limited to a single day in stores. Online shows can also be augmented by footage from runway shows and interviews with designers. SPOTLIGHT: Rent the Runway, Don’t Buy It Rent the Runway, an online site that rents dresses, jewelry and accessories, makes luxury affordable to its 5 million members. The site offers 65,000 dresses (many from top designers such as Badgley Mischka, Carolina Herrera and Vera Wang) and 25,000 pieces of jewelry which members rent for a few days at a fraction of the items’ retail prices and return in prepaid and addressed Mylar UPS envelopes. The company’s research found that on average, an American woman purchases 64 new pieces of clothing per year, of which about 50% are worn only once. Rent the Runway generated about $72 million revenue in 2015, up from $48 million in 2014, and was expected to reach $100 million in 2016. The company’s warehouse operations are housed in a 160,000-square-foot facility. In addition to packing and shipping, the facility has been carefully designed to incorporate dry cleaning and sterilization of returned apparel, making Rent the Runway the largest dry cleaning operation, in one building, in the U.S.

SPOTLIGHT: Amazon Fashion Amazon.com is attempting to dominate online fashion shopping in the same way it has revolutionized other retail categories including books, electronics and groceries. It first jumped into the fashion pool with the acquisition of Shopbop in 2006, followed by the purchase of online footwear site Zappos in 2009 and discount luxury clothing and accessories site MyHabit in 2011. It also launched its own shoes and accessories venture, Endless.com, in late 2006, but shut it down in late 2012. Starting in 2013, Amazon began taking on high fashion, working out deals with designers such as Michael Kors, Calvin Klein, Catherine Malandrino and Vivienne Westwood. In 2016, Amazon launched seven inhouse fashion lines, including Lark & Ro women’s clothing, Franklin Tailored men’s suits and accessories and Scout + Ro children’s clothing. 29) Digital Assistants Include Amazon’s Echo and Google’s Home/Alexa and Similar Software Power Third-Party Developers Apple, Google, Amazon and Microsoft are competing to offer the best voice-activated systems that can do anything from reporting the time and weather, to playing music on request, to performing web searches, to telling jokes, to making purchases from internet sites. These platforms utilize the latest in artificial intelligence in order to become more useful over time. Apple’s Siri is available on iPhones, iPads, Apple Watches and through an app in some vehicles. Google Now is an app available on a variety of mobile devices as is Microsoft’s Cortana app. Amazon’s Alexa web app is installed on a gadget called Amazon Echo that sits on a countertop, desk or shelf. Google offers a similar device called Google Home. All of these apps and platforms are voice-activated, and use connections to other apps and systems to find information such as directions, time, date, weather and trivia, or make purchases, which are reported audibly (users can choose their device’s voice gender and language). The next step for these handy assistants is the ability to connect with apps relating to climate control, lighting and/or security enabling users to simply say, for example, “Set home temperature to 72 degrees,” or “Activate alarm system,” and have the action performed, even from remote locations. Importantly, most systems are open to third-party developers. For example, Amazon has opened “Lex” to developers, which is the artificial intelligence engine behind the Alexa and Echo platforms. Lex is

Plunkett Research, Ltd.

tied into Amazon’s AWS cloud computing system. Software and product developers can incorporate Lex, enabling voice-activated or click-activated responsiveness (often in the form of specific taskoriented icons or apps known as “bots”). This gives these developers instant access to extremely powerful cloud computing, artificial intelligence and voiceactivation in one easy-to-launch package. Amazon charges a modest fee per thousand uses or data accesses. This ease-of-use has spurred a tidal wave of new product development worldwide, with the potential to revolutionize the manner in which consumers interface with their digital devices and the internet. Top Voice-Activated Technology Platforms and their Unique Advantages: Alexa: Owned by Amazon. Connects to Amazon AWS Cloud services, making it easy to embed Alexa software in third-party products. Siri: Owned by Apple. Siri, already familiar to hundreds of millions of iPhone users worldwide, has evolved into a very sophisticated digital assistant. Cortana: Owned by Microsoft. Microsoft had deep partnerships and experience with third-party corporate software and technology firms, making this an easy platform for others to embed. Google Assistant: Owned by Google. Assistant capitalizes on Google’s constantly evolving expertise in search and artificial intelligence. Source: Plunkett Research, Ltd. 30) Embedded LTE Wi-Fi and Onboard Apps Incorporated by Auto Makers in New Car Infotainment Systems Advanced information systems in automobiles, such as the Ford Sync system, utilize Wi-Fi to receive their initial software customization at the factory. For example, Wi-Fi may be used at the plant to load one type of emergency response package for cars intended for sale in the U.S., and another for cars that will be sold in other nations. Now, Tesla and other makers use Wi-Fi to install software updates to their vehicles. As a next step, several car makers, including Ford, GM, Chrysler and Volkswagen are turning their vehicles into Wi-Fi hotspots, so that passengers can use their laptops, tablet computers and other devices on the road. As advanced wireless broadband systems, such as LTE, are ultrafast, such systems can offer passengers access to conduct business, watch videos, listen to music of their choice and send emails. The

www.plunkettresearch.com

GENIVI Alliance (www.genivi.org) has been formed by several auto industry leaders in order to create an open standard for “In-Vehicle Infotainment” or IVI. Members include GM, BMW, Volvo, Honda, Nissan and parts maker Visteon. One way to enable onboard internet hotspots is to create a system whereby an owner’s smartphone becomes a single internet connection for all passengers and all of their devices. However, auto makers are now embedding independent wireless receivers into their cars—systems that require their own wireless service contracts. GM is offering embedded 4G broadband provided by AT&T for onboard Wi-Fi. (GM’s popular OnStar telematics system has long featured built-in wireless communications for directions and emergency phone calls.) Audi was the first to embed wireless into cars, as part of its Audi Connect feature, starting in 2011. As of 2017, all North American Audi models offered a 4G LTE or 3G subscription via AT&T. Meanwhile, car makers, led by Ford, are rushing to develop sophisticated smartphone apps and onboard apps that enable owners to customize and communicate with their cars. Ford’s AppLink service is available on most Ford models, including the Mustang, Fusion Hybrid, Focus, F-150 pickup and the E-Series van. Ford’s SYNC already offers real-time traffic information, turn-by-turn directions and personalized sports and weather reports, in addition to hands-free operation of cellphones and sound systems. Under new developments in AppLink, car owners will be able to download entertainment of their choice to SYNC for listening while they drive. The wildly popular Pandora music service was among the first offerings. But this is just the beginning of the services apps will bring to onboard SYNC infotainment systems. Eventually, owners will be able to download travel and time management apps, such as systems that will alert them to changes in the status of flights while in route to the airport. Voice-activated apps may even enable drivers to update their social media such as Facebook or Twitter. Meanwhile, Ford wants apps to enable owners to better manage their cars remotely. Such apps will include systems to diagnose car performance and maintenance. SYNC Destination enables owners to enter a destination into a smartphone at their convenience, and then beam it to the car for turn-byturn guidance later. A car maker’s ability to offer the maximum synchronization with a consumer’s smartphone in a safe and entertaining manner is

Plunkett Research, Ltd.

rapidly becoming one of the most hotly contested fields in the automobile market. Toyota, GM, Tesla and Mercedes-Benz, among others, are also jumping on the app access wagon in varying degrees. At Tesla, for example, new models sport 17-inch video monitors in the dashboard with USB plugs for internet access. At GM, the touch screen measures eight inches and can be activated by voice, touch or controls mounted on the steering wheel. Mercedes has developed an app called DriveStyle, and BMW offers an app program called ConnectedDrive. Data projection onto windshields is the focus of several startup companies including Navdy, a San Francisco-based firm that claimed to have sold out of its $499 projection device as of early 2016. The system projects social media, maps, text messages and video chats relayed via smartphone onto the windshield. Google’s Android Auto as well as Apple’s CarPlay stream phone data through a car’s USB port to a monitor set into the dashboard. Proponents say the displays keep drivers from looking down at their smartphones or dashboards. Detractors are concerned that the displays are simply more distractions from the road. An advanced system is installed in the 2017 BMW 7-series sedan which includes the ability for the car to park itself when a driver exits the vehicle and presses a button on a remote control. The 7series also has a color heads-up display that projects information on the windshield with 75% more display area than previous models, and the infotainment center offers its own app store. In addition, the vehicle has gesture control, allowing drivers to accept or reject phone calls and adjust sound system volume by waving their hands. Apple has agreements with a number of auto manufacturers including Audi, BMW, GM, Honda and Toyota to install its Siri voice command service in new vehicles starting with 2014 models. The service utilizes “eyes free” buttons that engage Siri so that the driver can request information from the internet on everything from weather to navigation to nearby restaurant reviews. There is some concern that connectivity opens the door for hackers who might take control of crucial systems such as braking, steering or engine startup and shutdown. Hackers also might be able to unlock doors and drive off using cellular, Bluetooth or other wireless connections. Manufacturers are working on ways to secure automotive computer systems. Toyota, for example, programs its onboard

www.plunkettresearch.com

computers to recognize outside commands and reject them. 31) Financial Technology (FinTech) Is Driven by Mobile Payments, Lending, Insurance and Online “Robo Advisors” Financial technology, often referred to as FinTech, has entered generation 2.0. Generation 1.0 was the convenience and market-wide acceptance of managing bank and other financial accounts online. 2.0 is about revolutionizing the management and processing of money. While making payments by smartphone as opposed to cash or credit/debit cards, represents a very small portion of total U.S. retail sales, the activity has been growing at a rapid rate, and market share will continue to increase. A vast amount of effort and money is being invested in creating compelling payment systems. This field is often referred to as “mobile commerce,” which includes payments made at retail counters or in web-based shopping carts via mobile devices. Euromonitor estimated that mobile commerce worldwide was nearly $1 trillion in 2016 and will grow to $3 trillion by 2021. The popularity and rapid global adoption of smartphones is driving this trend, along with the growing size of the middle class in emerging economies such as India and China. In addition to mobile payment apps aimed at general shopping, there are many successful proprietary apps for use at specific companies. Starbucks has been a great pioneer in this regard. By late 2016, it had nearly $2 billion in prepaid Starbucks deposits (bigger than the deposits on-hand at many commercial banking firms), and was accepting payment for more than 6 million sales monthly through this technology. The key is not simply offering an alternative payment process, but instead speeding up and making more convenient the entire ordering and checkout process, including the ability to order ahead from your smartphone. This is similar to the seamless ordering and payment conducted via the Uber app. Mobile payment is integral to the entire customer experience. Other apps are aimed at sending funds to friends and family “peer-to-peer” payments. Another trend is in the growth of apps to serve people who are not currently served by traditional banks, enabling them to deposit funds and make payments for rent or utility bills. Creating simplified investment management tools for mobile users is another hot trend. Companies

Plunkett Research, Ltd.

leading in this area include Aspiration, Betterment, Mint and SoFi. Many of these firms offer “RoboInvesting,” whereby the account owner sets investment goals and computer programs then allocate and manage investments into various types of funds. The goal is to simplify management and reduce the fees that would otherwise be paid to traditional managers. Arranging personal loans and business loans via apps and online platforms is soaring. Leaders include LendingClub, OnDeck, Prosper and SoFi. Artificial intelligence examines the records and lifestyles of potential borrowers and approves loans. Seeking and managing insurance coverage via apps and enhanced online is also on the rise. FinTech being developed for the insurance field ranges from improving distribution to consumers and their ability to select coverage; eliminating the broker/middlemen now dominant in many types of insurance; and giving consumers alternative types of coverage, such as payper-mile auto insurance. Leaders include Clover Health, Metromile, Oscar and PolicyBazaar (India). Vanguard Group launched an automated Personal Advisor Services platform in May 2015, which combines web-based “robo-advisors” with human counterparts that customers access via phone or video chat. In its first 12 months, the service brought in $12 billion in assets. The robo-advisors guide investors through a series of questions about their ages, risk tolerance and investment goals, and respond to the answers with any of several model portfolios. Fund shares are automatically bought and sold to keep assets in balance, with adjustments to lower risk as clients age. Vanguard charges 0.3% per year, while a similar system at Charles Schwab called Schwab Intelligent Portfolios is free (earning revenue by investing clients’ money in Schwab-managed ETFs).

Notes: High-speed lines are connections to end-user locations that deliver services at speeds exceeding 200 kbps in at least one direction. Advanced services lines, which are a subset of high-speed lines, are connections that deliver services at speeds exceeding 200 kbps in both directions. Line counts presented in this report are not adjusted for the number of persons at a single end-user location who have access to, or who use, the Internet-access services that are delivered over the high-speed connection to that location. 1 The mutually exclusive types of technology are, respectively: Asymmetric digital subscriber line (ADSL) technologies, which provide speeds in one direction greater than speeds in the other direction; symmetric digital subscriber line (SDSL) technologies; traditional wireline technologies "other" than ADSL and SDSL, including traditional telephone company high-speed services that provide equivalent functionality, and also Ethernet service if delivered to the subscriber's location over copper (as opposed to optical fiber) plant and electric power line; cable modem, including the typical hybrid fiber-coax (HFC) architecture of upgraded cable TV systems; optical fiber to the subscriber's premises (e.g., Fiber-to-the-Premises, or FTTP); and satellite and fixed and mobile terrestrial wireless systems, which use radio spectrum to communicate with a radio transmitter.

Chapter 4 THE E-COMMERCE 500: WHO THEY ARE AND HOW THEY WERE CHOSEN Includes Indexes by Company Name, Industry & Location The companies chosen to be listed in PLUNKETT’S E-COMMERCE & INTERNET BUSINESS ALMANAC comprise a unique list. THE E-COMMERCE 500 (the actual count is 495 companies) were chosen specifically for their dominance in the many facets of the e-commerce and Internet business in which they operate. Complete information about each firm can be found in the “Individual Profiles,” beginning at the end of this chapter. These profiles are in alphabetical order by company name. THE E-COMMERCE 500 companies are from all parts of the United States, Canada, Europe, Asia/Pacific and beyond. THE E-COMMERCE 500 includes companies that are deeply involved in the technologies, services and trends that keep the entire industry forging ahead. Simply stated, THE E-COMMERCE 500 contains 495 of the largest, most successful, fastest growing firms in e-commerce and related industries in the world. To be included in our list, the firms had to meet the following criteria: 1) Generally, these are corporations based in the U.S., however, the headquarters of 97 firms are located in other nations. 2) Prominence, or a significant presence, in ecommerce, e-commerce-based services,

equipment and supporting fields. (See the following Industry Codes section for a complete list of types of businesses that are covered). 3) The companies in THE E-COMMERCE 500 do not have to be exclusively in the e-commerce field. 4) Financial data and vital statistics must have been available to the editors of this book, either directly from the company being written about or from outside sources deemed reliable and accurate by the editors. A small number of companies that we would like to have included are not listed because of a lack of sufficient, objective data. INDEXES TO THE E-COMMERCE 500, AS FOUND IN THIS CHAPTER AND IN THE BACK OF THE BOOK: Index of Rankings Within Industry Groups Alphabetical Index Index of Headquarters Location by U.S. State Index of Non-U.S. Headquarters Location by Country Index of Firms Noted as “Hot Spots for Advancement” for Women/Minorities Index by Subsidiaries, Brand Names and Selected Affiliations

Acxiom Corp. is an enterprise data, analytics and software-asa-service company. Acxiom aims to strengthen connections between people, businesses and their partners. Its products are divided into three categories: Connectivity, data packages and Acxiom Audience Solutions. Connectivity unites a business' customer data to its digital marketing platforms in order to create and provide better customer experiences. To accomplish this, Connectivity, through LiveRamp Connect, anonymizes and then matches customer relationship management & purchase data to marketing & media platforms for measurement, targeting and anonymous reach. Data packages target consumers with interests based on individual campaigns. Data packages can be based on industry, a special event or theme, and include top digital data, big game, Valentine's Day, St. Patrcik's Day, Tax Time, Easter, Mother's Day, Summertime Fun, Father's Day, Back to School, Halloween, Thanksgiving and Holiday. Choosing the most relevant and effective data package options is the key to deriving better marketing results. Acxiom Audience Solutions measures and presents which customers are most likely to buy an enterprises' product. This data is mined from a broad crosssection of data which then becomes statistically propensityvalidated across several industries. The data enables companies to more scientifically select media and more efficiently reach intended audiences. In September 2016, the firm sold Acxiom Impact, its Impact email business, to Zeta Interactive, a marketing technology firm. The following December, LiveRamp, an Acxiom company, acquired both Arbor and Circulate, two companies at the forefront of helping publishers connect people-based data to the marketing ecosystem. Acxiom offers employees health, life and disability insurance; a 401(k) plan; and a stock purchase plan.

GROWTH PLANS/SPECIAL FEATURES:

TYPES OF BUSINESS: Online Homestay Reservations Room Rental Reservations Tour Booking Online

Airbnb, Inc., founded in 2008, operates a social networking site for travelers and those who have spare housing space. Through Airbnb.com, members who are willing to let travelers stay in their homes, guest houses, resort properties and other accommodations can post their information, including pricing, photos and amenities. In turn, travelers may search in a given market for members who are willing to accommodate them. Airbnb offers more than 2 million listings in 192 countries. Since its founding, the company has booked over 60 million guest nights. Members are encouraged to write reviews describing the positive and/or negative aspects of their stays. These reviews are partially encouraged so that renters and travelers may view profiles and feedback before staying in homes or letting others stay in their homes, thereby reducing the risk of danger or other negative situations. The Airbnb network is also connected to Facebook, allowing members to search the social networking platform for additional information regarding certain hosts and guests. The company expanded its offerings in 2016 to allow booking of tours and events. Airbnb charges room owners a 3% host fee and an additional fee of 6% to 12% per guest. The average commission is about 12% of total revenues. The typical guest stays longer, on average, than a guest in a typical hotel. The firm has a goal of achieving $10 billion in yearly revenues by 2020.

TYPES OF BUSINESS: Computer Software, Security & Anti-Virus

AlienVault, Inc. is a developer of commercial and open source solutions to manage cyber-attacks. The firm's open source product is the Open Threat Exchange (OTX). The OTX is the world's largest crowd-sourced computer-security platform with over 47,000 participants in 140 countries, who contribute over 4 million threat indicators daily. OTX delivers communitygenerated threat data, enables collaborative research and automates the process of updating security infrastructure with threat data from any source. The platform enables anyone in the security community to actively discuss, research, validate and share the latest threat data, trends and techniques, strengthening their own defenses while helping others do the same. The paid security products of AlienVault includes Unified Security Management (USM), a unified threat detection and compliance management solution that is both easy-to-use and affordable. The USM platform provides five security capabilities in a single console: discovers assets, locates all assets on a network before a bad actor does; assesses vulnerability, identifies systems on a network vulnerable to exploitation; detects intrusions, finds malicious traffic on a network; monitors behavior, identifies suspicious behavior and potentially compromised systems; and manages security information and events (SIEM), which correlates and analyzes security and event data from across the network. In addition to OTX and USM, AlienVault also runs the Open Source Security Information Management (OSSIM) project. OSSIM leverages the power of the OTX by allowing users to both contribute and receive real-time information about malicious hosts. The project provides a feature-rich open source SIEM complete with event collection, normalization and correlation.

TYPES OF BUSINESS: Jewelry, Online Retail

Blue Nile, Inc. is a U.S.-based internet retailer of jewelry. The firm offers a broad selection of diamonds and other fine jewelry through its bluenile.com, bluenile.co.uk and bluenile.ca web sites. These sites feature interactive search functionality; the ability to purchase products in 23 currencies; detailed product information; over 150,000 independently certified diamonds; and over 1,000 styles of jewelry, including rings, wedding bands, necklaces, charms, earrings and bracelets. In addition to loose diamonds and settings, the company offers gold, platinum and silver jewelry with pearls, emeralds, rubies and sapphires. Customers can create their own jewelry by selecting a diamond and a favorite ring, pendant or earring design. Over half of the firm's revenue is derived from engagement jewelry sales. Blue Nile has developed an online cost structure and a unique supply solution that eliminates traditional layers of diamond wholesalers and brokers, which allows the company to purchase most of its products at lower prices by avoiding mark-ups imposed by those intermediaries. This in turn allows the company to offer its products to the consumer at reduced prices. Blue Nile ships its products to over 40 countries. The firm's subsidiaries are Blue Nile, LLC, which serves customers in the U.S., Canada and Asia-Pacific; Blue Nile Worldwide, Inc., which serves customers in Europe; Blue Nile (Shanghai) Trading Co., Ltd., which serves customers in China; and Blue Nile Jewellery, Ltd., which operates a customer service and fulfillment center in Dublin, Ireland. In November 2016, the firm agreed to be acquired by Bain Capital Private Equity and Bow Street, LLC. Blue Nile offers its employees life, disability, AD&D, medical, prescription, dental and vision insurance; domestic partner coverage; a stock option plan; a 401(k) plan; flexible spending accounts; an employee assistance program; paid time off; a referral bonus program; transportation allowance; an employee discount program; and fitness programs.

The firm offers on-net internet access at speeds ranging from 100 megabits per second to 100 gigabits per second. This on-net service is offered via Cogent's own facilities, which run all the way to its customers' premises.

Craigslist, Inc. operates Craigslist.org, an online community offering local classifieds and forums. Craigslist currently has over 700 local sites in 70 countries, allowing users in those cities to post listings for everything from classified and personal ads to jobs, housing, goods, services, local activities and advice. In addition to English, the site is available in Catalan, Danish, Dutch, Filipino, French, German, Italian, Norwegian, Portuguese, Spanish, Swedish and Turkish. The site averages more than 80 million classified ads each month, 1 million new job postings and 50 billion page views monthly and has nearly 60 million unique visitors per month in the U.S. alone. More than 200 million people use Craigslist to post their views on 100 different discussion forums. Although Craigslist is a commercial enterprise, it retains its original .org URL in order to emphasis its mission as a sort of community service and to reflect its non-corporate culture. The company relies almost entirely on word-of-mouth advertising and has resisted the efforts of advertisers to purchase space on the site, meaning that users may navigate the site without seeing banner ads or other advertisements. Through its Craigslist Charitable Fund, the company continues to create grants for 501(c)3 nonprofit organizations. Craigslist offers its employees health and dental insurance, a 3-1 match on charitable donations, a monthly transportation stipend, a monthly technology stipend for tech staff and a 401(k) matching program.

TYPES OF BUSINESS: Online Craft Marketplace Handmade Arts & Crafts Crafting Supplies Vintage Clothing & Goods

Etsy, Inc. operates Etsy.com, an e-commerce web site that specializes in unique handmade goods, clothing and other artsand-crafts-inspired merchandise. The web site, first established in 2005, is designed as an online marketplace where independent artists and crafts people can make use of the Etsy technology platform to sell their wares to the site's registered members. The site showcases over 40 million items for sale, and is comprised of 27.1 million active buyers. Approximately 1.7 million sellers maintain their own individual online storefronts within the overall Etsy environment, where they can post photographs and descriptions of items being sold. Etsy shoppers can use a system of product tags and keyword searches, along with several other methods, to shop throughout the whole site, or narrow their browsing to favorite sellers' products. Additional tools on the site allow users to search for wares by various product categories, to find items listed recently, to shop for items that will match a user-defined color scheme or to shop for items by the location of the seller (such as where to find locally-produced goods that can be shipped quickly to the buyer). Sellers pay a small fee to Etsy when initially listing their products, as well as a percentage of all sales made through the site. Unlike more general-purpose e-commerce sites such as eBay, Etsy enforces relatively strict guidelines regarding what can be sold through the portal, with products falling in three broad categories: handmade goods, which must be made by the seller and cannot be massproduced; crafting supplies, such as yarn, beads or crafting tools; and vintage goods, which the company defines as items at least 20 years old. In September 2016, the firm acquired Blackbird Technologies, Inc., a developer of machine learning technology, for $32.5 million.

For offices, the minimum order amount is $50 plus a delivery fee, Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4p.m. Customers can also pick up their orders at the facility.

Google (Alphabet, Inc.) operates Google.com, a global leader in technology and a provider of the world's most used search engine, which connects people to information by indexing the content of billions of internet pages. While end-users can use Google's search engine for free, the company profits from charging fees to other sites that use its search technology through an auction-based program that enables business clients to bid for ad space. Businesses use the AdWords program to promote their products and services. In addition, third-party web sites that comprise the Google network use the AdSense program to deliver ads that generate revenue and are relevant to search results. Advertising revenue is also generated from other web-based applications that provide clients with delivery of display services; advertising technology that creates a real-time auction marketplace where advertisers can trade display ad space; a free and open source smartphone operating system; and tools that allow users to locate local information via the web. The company's business operates in four different areas: search, advertising, operating systems and platforms and enterprise. The company's operating systems and platforms division develops proprietary products such as the Android market, Google Chrome, Google TV and Google Books. The enterprise division creates productivity and content sharing tools, such as Google Docs, Gmail, Blogger, Google Play, Google+ and YouTube. Google operates 70 offices in more than 40 countries.

GROWTH PLANS/SPECIAL FEATURES:

TYPES OF BUSINESS: Online Marketing Services

Groupon, Inc. is an online retailer, offering daily coupons to various local restaurants, activities and attractions in North American markets and other countries. The firm partners with companies in order to offer discounts on products and services, with the assumption that enough subscribers will be interested in buying their coupons. The site works by selling a coupon that only becomes valid after a certain amount of users purchase it; if an inadequate number of users purchase the coupon, it is canceled and those who bought the coupon are not charged. The average discount on a Groupon deal is around 50%-90%. Its daily coupons consist of a diverse range of products and services, divided into three categories: Groupon Local, Groupon Goods and Groupon Getaways. Groupon Local offers deals for local merchant partners across multiple categories, including food and drink, events and activities, beauty and spa, fitness, health, home and auto, shopping and education. It increasingly distributes deals using targeting technology, which distributes deals to current and potential customers based on their location and personal preferences. This segment also contains GrouponLive, a partnership with LiveNation whereby Groupon serves as a local resource for LiveNation events and its global ticketing business, Ticketmaster. Groupon Goods offers customers the ability to find deals on a rotating selection of well-known brands across multiple product lines, including electronics, sports, outdoors and fitness, toys, home and clothing. Through Groupon Getaways, the company features personally curated offers from travel partners, including hotels, airfare and package deals covering both domestic and international travel. In February 2016, Groupon sold its one billionth Groupon. That November, the firm began to reduce its area of coverage from 27 countries to 15.

TYPES OF BUSINESS: Computer Software, Security & Anti-Virus

Illumio is an enterprise data center and cloud computing security company. The Illumio Adaptive Security Platform (ASP) reduces cyber risk in data center and cloud environments by delivering application traffic visibility, adaptive segmentation and encryption with no dependency on the network or hypervisor. Illumio ASP is designed to continuously protect communications within and across tiers of applications, wherever they are running. The platform is decoupled from the infrastructure, and supports all modern server computing formats (Windows/Linus, virtual machines, containers) and all computing environments (data center, private and public cloud). The Policy Compute Engine (PCE) is the central brain of the Illumio ASP. The PCE discovers application topology and application flows, features rich application program interfaces (APIs) that integrate with orchestration tools and configuration management database (CMDB) systems and enables automatic key management for encryption. The Virtual Enforcement Node (VEN) is a lightweight software agent installed in the operating system of any server, VM or container. It collects telemetry (network flows, workload information) and programs the native firewall in the host. The VEN is not in the data path; it controls stateful native layer-3 and layer-4 firewalls to deliver segmentation; has no requirements for virtual chokepoints or complex traffic steering; and delivers real-time alerts of potential policy violations and tampering. Customers of the firm include Netsuite, Platronics and Creative Artists Agency. Illumio partners include Nutanix, Citrix, f5, Docker, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Mesosphere, Okta, Onelogin, Oracle and Ping Identity.

TYPES OF BUSINESS: Crowdfunding

Indiegogo, Inc. is a crowd funding platform for entrepreneurial, creative and philanthropic causes. Crowd funding allows project creators to campaign and raise money for their work directly from the general public, bypassing traditional methods of investment funding. Indiegogo creators are able to fund anything from business startups and product creation to personal life expenses such as college tuition, surgery or veterinary bills. Main categories of projects on Indiegogo are creative, including art, film, fashion, gaming and music projects; cause, entailing animals, community, education, health and politics projects with a philanthropic slant; entrepreneurial projects, such as food, small business, sports and technology; and Indiegogo Life, a service for anyone raising money based on emergencies, medical expenses, celebrations or other life events. Indiegogo Life does not charge a platform fee, allowing fundraisers to keep more of the money they raise. Flexible funding campaigns that do and do not reach their goal are charged 5% of total funds raised. Successful fixed funding campaigns are also charged 5% of the total contributions, while unsuccessful fixed funding campaigns do not receive the funds raised, which are returned to their users. All campaigns are charged an additional 3% credit card processing fee, and a 35% PayPal transaction fee. Contributions are collected through a creator's PayPal account and deposited immediately at the time of the transaction. Contributors are offered creatorprovided and -chosen incentives according to the level of their contribution. Incentives vary according to the project funded and can include private access to mailing lists, equity in startup companies, limited editions of final projects, autographed memorabilia and VIP access to events. The firm's algorithm, the gogofactor, is used to determine which active projects make it to the homepage of the company. In late 2016, the firm opened its doors to small investors.

GROWTH PLANS/SPECIAL FEATURES:

TYPES OF BUSINESS: Online Marketplace

Jet.com, Inc., through its web site Jet.com, acts as an online marketplace, featuring low prices on millions of items that are sold by its participating dealers. The firm focuses on serving cost-conscious customers who would be willing to forgo delivery speed for lower prices. The site launched in early 2015 and originally charged its members $50 per year for access to its marketplace; however, soon after launching the firm announced that it would be making its members only shopping club freely accessible and that it would continue to provide better prices on items and free shipping on orders over $35. Items for sale include books, clothing, electronics, baby goods and athletic gear. Jet charges its retail dealers a commission that is equal to a small percentage of each sale. However, under a very unique business model, Jet.com rebates 10% of purchases to frequent shoppers, effectively lowering prices even further. Jet utilizes advanced software to find a dealer closest to the buyer in order to speed up delivery and reduce shipping fees. Shoppers may opt out of the right to return merchandise, thus getting an even lower price. This is of particular importance in sales of apparel, where merchandise is typically returned at a very high rate. In September 2016, Jet was acquired by Wal-Mart Stores Inc (Walmart) for approximately $3 billion.

Linden Research, Inc. (dba Linden Lab) develops platforms that empower people to create virtual experiences. Linden Lab is the creator of Second Life, an online collaborative 3D virtual build-and-play environment that millions of users have utilized for gaming and development purposes. Second Life differs from a typical massively multiplayer online role playing game (MMORPG) in that it provides nearly unlimited interactive and creative freedom as well as providing its users with the opportunity to retain intellectual property (IP) rights over creations. Once an object has been built, its creator has the IP rights to it and can sell it to other users, called Residents. A Second Life account includes access to an avatar personalization tool, as well as building tools using geometric primitives and scripting language, adding functionality to created objects. The company's Blocksworld offering is a lighthearted build-and-play system on the iPad for both children and adults. Linden Labs has been developing Sansar, a new platform for creating social virtual reality (VR) experiences, which was slated for public release in early 2017. The company is headquartered in San Francisco, California, with additional U.S. offices in Seattle, Boston, Davis and Charlottesville. Linden Lab offers employees medical, dental and vision insurance; stock options; tuition reimbursement; and a 401(k) plan.

Lyft Inc

www.lyft.me

NAIC Code: 561599

GROWTH PLANS/SPECIAL FEATURES:

TYPES OF BUSINESS: Car Rental Referral Service

Lyft, Inc. is a transportation network company based out of San Francisco that combines social networking with taxi services. Referred to as a peer-to-peer ride share program, the operations of the company differ from that of a traditional taxi network in that there is no uniformity of contracted vehicles, and services can only be accessed through smartphone Apps for iphone or Android operating systems. Additionally, both passengers and drivers must sign up for the Lyft service through their Facebook accounts, which allows for passengers and drivers to actively rate one another. The objective of the company is not simply to profit off of transportation services, but to additionally attract a certain demographic of customers by promoting a community atmosphere. This demographic includes middle to upper class young adults in major metropolitan areas. Drivers operate as independent contractors, using their own personal vehicle for services in order to propagate the feeling of community and give the illusion of friends offering rides to other friends. These drivers undergo a vigorous screening process, including DMV and criminal background checks, vehicle inspections and training and safety sessions. Services are charged as $5 per mile or minute, 20% of which goes towards the company and the other 60% towards the driver. Regular Lyft includes up to three friends. Lyft Plus is a six-passenger ride of friends. Lyft Line, available in select cities, is a ride-sharing program with others who are going the same way. These riders save up to 60% compared to an original Lyft ride. Lyft for Work allows companies to pay for work-related transportation, giving employees access to friendly affordable rates. In 2016, Lyft completed more than 160 million rides, averaging over 18 million per month.

GROWTH PLANS/SPECIAL FEATURES:

TYPES OF BUSINESS: Satellite Internet Access Services Satellite Telephony and Communications

OneWeb Ltd. intends to be a major global provider of Internet access and related telephone services. It is contracting for the manufacture and launches of a proprietary, low-earth-orbit satellite constellation to provide global coverage, particularly to parts of the Earth that currently lack reliable or affordable Internet access. Its constellation of satellites will eventually consist of approximately 900 satellites that will circle the earth in order to enable affordable access. OneWeb's satellites orbit relatively close to the earth, allowing for better Internet access speeds, while they interlock with each other electronically, to create coverage over the entire planet. Small, low-cost user terminals will communicate with the satellite network and provide wireless Internet access. These terminals will provide connectivity with no change in latency (speed) during satellite handovers in order to ensure continuous quality of voice, gaming and web surfing experience. Compared to traditional satellites, OneWeb units have fewer components, and are lighter in weight, easier to manufacture and cheaper to launch. The satellites contain on-board propulsion and state-of-the-art positioning GPS sensors that ground-track their placements within meters. The on-board propulsion systems are capable of performing maneuvers to steer clear of space debris. When a OneWeb satellite nears the end of its service life, it will de-orbit automatically. The launching of the constellation is slated to begin as early as 2018. OneWeb Satellites LLC, a joint venture between OneWeb and Airbus Defence & Space, is a satellite Internet provider and therefore oversees OneWeb's satellite factories. Space launch rocket services have been contracted to Arianespace SA and Virgin Galactic. In April 2016, the firm broke ground on a 100,000+-square-foot, high volume satellite manufacturing factory in Exploration Park, Florida, near NASA's Kennedy Space Center. It is set to open in 2017.

The firm's solutions include its real-time restaurant reservation web site for diners (OpenTable.com) and its Electronic Reservation Book (ERB) for restaurant customers. OpenTable ERB streamlines several business-critical functions and processes for restaurants, such as reservation management, table management, guest recognition and e-mail marketing.

International teams and offices include the U.K. (opentable.co.uk), Japan (opentable.jp), Mexico (opentable.com.mx) and Germany (opentable.de). The company finds restaurants for more than 19 million diners each month, and each month OpenTable diners write more than 750,000 restaurant reviews. While OpenTable's service is free to diners, it collects the following fees from restaurants: installation fees for onsite installation and training, a fee for each restaurant guest seated through online reservations and a monthly subscription payment for the use of the company's software and hardware. The firm also operates through Table Maestro LLC, a telephone reservation services provider.

CONTACTS: Note: Officers with more than one job title may be intentionally listed here more than once. Ben Silbermann, CEO Evan Sharp, Chief Creative Officer Joanne K. Bradford, Head-Partnerships

Pinterest is a San Francisco, California-based social media company founded in 2010 that operates an online pinboardstyle social photo sharing web site with approximately 100 million global users. The company's web site, Pinterest.com, offers a Virtual Pinboard that allows its users to create, organize and manage various projects on the web through the posting of media content such as pictures and videos (known on the site as pins). The site enables users to place digital pins in content they find on the web, such as recipes, craft ideas and articles, and keep them organized in one location for future reference. Users can classify their pins under the site's many categories, which include Design, DIY (Do It Yourself) & Crafts, Fitness, Food & Drink, Hair & Beauty, Home Decor, Humor, Kids, Women's Apparel, Outdoors, People, Pets, Travel & Places and Weddings & Events. The social networking aspect of Pinterest is that it allows users to view pinboards created by others, re-pin images from other users and share pins on additional social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter, thus allowing those with shared interests to connect with each other. The web site is currently available in English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Dutch and German. The firm is one of the fastest growing social media websites in the U.S., which is offered in 30 different languages. The company also offers Pinterest Web Analytics, an analysis tool that enables web site owners to see how pins originating from their web sites are being used. Headquartered in San Francisco, California, Pinterest also has offices in New York, Chicago, Atlanta, Los Angeles, London, Paris, Berlin, Tokyo and Sao Paulo. Historically, Pinterest did not generate revenues. In early 2014, it began selling promoted pins to advertisers as its first step towards advertising fee generation. Employees of Pinterest are given comprehensive medical benefits and equity in the company.

Rackspace Hosting, Inc. provides hosting services for businesses, specializing in web sites, web-based information technology (IT) systems and computing-as-a-service. It actively offers four service categories: dedicated cloud, public cloud, private cloud and hybrid cloud. Dedicated cloud is known as managed hosting, referring to IT services provided on a server or servers reserved for specific customers. A subscription-based business, this service provides a management portal and tools. Public cloud services deliver pooled computing resources on-demand over the internet. This division offers cloud servers for computing; cloud sites for website hosting; cloud block storage and cloud files for storage; cloud databases for hosting MySQL instances; cloud load balances for traffic management; cloud backup for file protection; cloud monitoring for infrastructure control; cloud Domain Name System (DNS) for domain management; and cloud applications, which includes email, collaboration and file back-ups. Private cloud, used widely by large corporate customers, refers to a pool of computing resources that is virtualized for greater efficiency and nimbleness, but that is dedicated to one particular customer rather than being used by multiple customers. The hardware can be located in data centers or in the customer's facilities. Hybrid cloud allows customers to seamlessly utilize the benefits of both dedicated and public cloud through its RackConnect service. Through the hybrid cloud, the technologies can be combined to address each customer's changing needs. Rackspace serves more than 300,000 customers in over 120 countries. Additionally, the firm is the co-founder, with NASA, of OpenStack, the world's fastest-growing open cloud platform and developer community. In November 2016, Rackspace was acquired by the private equity firm Apollo Global Management LLC for $4.3 billion. The firm offers employees medical, dental and vision insurance; a 401(k) plan; profit sharing; employee training; and an onsite fitness facility.

Rent the Runway is an online fashion service that provides designer dress and accessory rentals. Customers choose from nearly 65,000 items on the firm's site or app, with all orders being processed through its 150,000 square foot enterprise. Customers specify delivery dates, sizes, lengths, designer, trends and body type as well as the number of days they elect to rent. Dresses and accessories are rented for a fraction of their original costs. Members who rent for four or eight days get a free backup size, or can choose a different dress for an additional $32.50. Items are delivered via UPS or courier service (available for Manhattan addresses below 125th Street) at the client's home, office or hotel by 8pm on the delivery date. Returns are free, and customers are provided a pre-paid envelope to either be dropped off at a UPS store or scheduled for pick-up by 12pm on return date. Once returned, each dress and accessory is dry cleaned in an industrial-sized machine and steam-pressed, and then inspected by a seamstress. The Unlimited package is $139 a month, in which members receive an endless rotation of designer statement accessories including jewelry, handbags, outerwear and seasonal pieces. Three items are sent, and receivers can keep them for an unlimited amount of time, or return one, two or all three items in exchange for the same number of new items. The PRO package is $29.95 for free standard shipping and insurance on all orders placed within one year of purchase date, as well as $50 rental credit for the member's birthday month.

Return Path, Inc. provides e-mail digital marketing services to Fortune 500 firms, online retailers, publishers, market researchers and catalogers. SenderScore.org is the company's e-mail reputation service that is available free of charge. This service gathers information from millions of mailboxes from ISP spam filtering and security companies. Sender Score Reputation Data allows ISPs, network operators and e-mail senders to not only see how they compare to other ISPs and e-mail receivers but also how their program is viewed by e-mail receivers and what can be changed or improved. Sender Score also helps network operators appropriately respond to spam. The company's Inbox Monitor keeps track of senders' e-mail campaigns and lets senders know the status of their campaigns' inbox delivery. Inbox Monitor covers over 150 domains in the U.S., Canada, Europe, Latin America and Asia Pacific. The Blacklist Alert lets senders know if their outbound mail server IP addresses appear on any of the blacklists that the program tracks. The firm has a certification program that covers over 2.5 billion mailboxes all over the world. The certified list focuses on eliminating enterprises with false positive rates. Return Path's Reputation Monitor is an e-mail reputation monitoring system that evaluates over 600 different variables commonly used by ISPs to filter mail. Subsidiary Context.IO provides a unique email API that makes it easy for application developers to retrieve information and leverage it in applications such as customer relationship management, document management, collaboration, productivity tools and project management. These tools allow developers to focus on what's unique to their business while Context.IO manages the technical details of integrating with arcane email server protocols.

The company builds a suite of proprietary tools and style-matching technology for women throughout the U.S. Roughly 3,000 Stitch Fix stylists, mostly woriking from home, help subscribers to select clothing and accessories that best suit their lifestyle and body shape.

Women first provide general information from which a style profile is created (styling fee is $20), then choose a delivery date (the $20 styling fee will be applied as a credit toward anything kept within the shipment), try everything on, purchase what they like and return the rest. The average price point for clothing is $55 per item, but the company carries a wide variety of price points. Those who choose to purchase all five pieces within the shipment get a 25% discount off the entire purchase. Apparel ranges from pants, skirts, shorts, dresses, sweaters, shirts, outerwear, scarves, jewelry and bags. Stitch Fix works with more than 250 up-and-coming labels and brands. The firm also carries exclusive labels and styles that are only offered at Stitch Fix. These exclusive labels are created and developed inhouse with vendor partners and customized to fit clients based on their feedback. Stitch Fix was founded in 2011, and is headquartered in San Francisco, California. In early 2016, the firm announced that Stitch Fix Men would be launching that Fall.

NAIC Code: 454111

GROWTH PLANS/SPECIAL FEATURES:

TYPES OF BUSINESS: Electronic Shopping

Teespring, Inc. is an e-commerce platform established to enable anyone to design and sell products. The company was founded in 2011 by two Brown University students who developed a web site in mere hours to sell commemorative shirts in lieu of the closing of their favorite local bar. The site was designed to accept prepaid orders before printing anything so as to bypass heavy upfront production costs. Obtaining hundreds of orders within hours, the concept and site was then launched, allowing anyone to create a crowdfunding campaign for custom apparel. The Teespring platform allows people to take their own designs, print them on clothing and then sell them without the restrictions usually associated with starting an online store. The platform sells the items in campaigns (or limited edition runs) so they can be printed in bulk. Popular categories at the teespring.com site include Nurses, Firefighters, Fishing, Running, Music, Yoga, Camping, Dogs, Cats, Horses, Mechanics and Engineering. Currently, Teespring has offices in Providence, Rhode Island, San Francisco, California and Hebron, Kentucky. As of late-2016, the firm had raised $56 million in venture capital, and had shipped more than 19 million products globally. Teespring also has four offices: San Francisco, California; Providence, RI; Hebron, Kentucky; and London, England.

Trivago N.V. is a global online hotel search platform. The platform of the firm allows travelers to make informed decisions by personalizing their hotel search and providing access to a deep supply of hotel information and prices. In 2016, approximately 1.4 billion visited the firm's websites and apps, resulting in 487 million qualified referrals and offered access to approximately 1.3 million hotels in over 190 countries. Trivago, as a brand, has positioned itself as a key starting point for travelers searching for their ideal hotel. The hotel search platform enables travelers to find their ideal hotel by matching individual traveler preferences with detailed hotel characteristics such as price, location, availability, amenities and ratings, across a vast supply of global hotels. For hotel advertisers, trivago is an important and scalable marketing channel due to the number of travelers accessing its websites and apps. Additionally, the firm's ability to refine user intent through its search function allows it to provide advertisers with transaction-ready referrals. The revenue of trivago is generated primarily on a cost-per-click (CPC) basis, whereby an advertiser is charged when a user clicks on an advertised rate for a hotel and is referred to that advertiser's website where the user can complete the booking. Moreover, the CPC bidding function of the firm enables advertisers to influence their own return on investment and the volume of referral traffic generated for them. Trivago's hotel search platform can be accessed globally via 55 localized websites, including trivago.com, and apps in 33 languages.

GROWTH PLANS/SPECIAL FEATURES:

TYPES OF BUSINESS: Internet Publishing and Broadcasting and Web Search Portals

TrueCar,Inc. provides comparative sales information for car makes and models in specific areas through its TrueCar.com web site. The online portal also provides information related to where vehicles are available, estimated prices for that make and model of car (referred to as upfront pricing information) all derived from the company's network of TrueCar Certified Dealers. The upfront pricing information generally includes guaranteed savings off MSRP which the consumer may then take to a TrueCar Certified Dealer in the form of a Guaranteed Savings Certificate that applies toward the purchase of the specified make and model of car. TrueCar benefits its network of TrueCar Certified Dealers by enabling them to attract these informed, in-market consumers in a cost-effective, accountable manner, which helps them to sell more cars. The firm sells both new and used vehicles, and has a network of more than 11,000 TrueCar Certified Dealers which represent all major makes of cars. The network covers the entire U.S. and has accounted for millions of cars sold. Approximately 89% of the firm's revenue is derived from the fee that TrueCar Certified Dealers pay when a TrueCar.com user purchases a car from them. The remaining revenue comes from the sale of data and consulting services to the automotive and financial services industries. Current products under development include TrueTrade, which would provide users with an estimated daily market value for their existing cars and a guaranteed trade-in price; as well as both TrueLoan and TrueLease, which would provide users a convenient way to finance cars at TrueCar Certified Dealers.

Ting provides customers with access to our provisioning and management tools via the ting.com website.

The segment's primary distribution channel is a global network of more than 13,000 resellers in more than 100 countries who typically provide their customers, the end-users of the internet, with a critical component for establishing and maintaining an online presence. Within Domain Services is Wholesale, or OpenSRS, which manages more than 13.3 million domain names and offers domain services, e-mail services, a personal name service and secure socket layer (SSL) security certificate services.

GROWTH PLANS/SPECIAL FEATURES:

TYPES OF BUSINESS: Computer Software, Telecom, Communications & VoIP Cloud-Based Telephony Technology

Twilio, Inc. provides web-service infrastructure application programming interfaces (APIs) to build cloud communications applications. It offers APIs for enterprises to build communications applications for voice, VoIP and SMS (text messaging) in the cloud. The firm's technology allows app developers to integrate telephony services into their apps. When a voice call is initiated to a Twilio phone number, the company answers the call and then sends an HTTP request to the receiver's application (which could include a sales call center or tech support desk). The user's application then responds with an XML command that Twilio executes to the caller. A similar chain of events is enacted for SMS messages. Pricing for a Twilio account includes $1/month for a telephone number, less than 1 cent/minute for inbound calls, less than 1 cent for sent and received messages and 2 cents/minute for outbound calls (these refer to local connectivity). Toll-free numbers are $2 per month, and SIP interface, programmable call recording and conference calling (basic & global) are all priced less than 1 cent per minute. Using Twilio Connect, developers are able to add voice telephony and SMS messaging to their applications without the additional hassle of billing users for usage. For users that do not intend to build their own application, the firm also offers OpenVBX, a pre-built, open-source phone system application. The company serves a variety of industries, including health care, education, customer service, retail and manufacturing. Twilio is based in San Francisco, California with an additional office in London. More than 550,000 developers use Twilio's service. In 2015, the firm acquired Authy, which offers two-factor authentication services to end-users, developers and enterprises. Employees of Twilio receive medical, dental and vision insurance; a 401(k) plan; and pre-tax commuter benefits..

TYPES OF BUSINESS: Telephone Service Telecommunications Services Wireless Services Long-Distance Services High-Speed Internet Access Video-on-Demand Services e-Commerce & Online Services

Verizon Communications, Inc. is one of the world's largest providers of communications services. Its primary network technology platforms are 3G CDMA, based on spreadspectrum digital radio technology, and 4G LTE, which provides higher throughput performance and more improved efficiencies than 3G. It operates in two segments: wireless and wireline. The wireless segment's products and services include wireless voice, data products and other value added services and equipment sales across the U.S. The segment's network provides services to a customer base of nearly 108.2 million. Wireless' 4G LTE network is deployed in more than 500 markets, covering more than 309 million people. The wireline segment is comprised of four units: mass markets, global enterprise, global wholesale and other. The mass markets unit provides local exchange, long distance, broadband services and FiOS bundled services to residential and small business subscribers. Global enterprise offers voice, data and internet communications services to medium and large business customers, multi-national corporations and state and federal government customers. Global wholesale provides switched access and special access services to long distance and other carriers. The other division provides local exchange and long distance services from former MCI mass market customers, operator services, pay phone, card services and supply sales. Wireless contributes approximately 70% of Verizon's total revenues. The company invested about $23 billion in upgrades to FiOS systems in recent years. In 2015, the firm acquired AOL, Inc. In March 2016, Verizon and Hearst agreed to jointly acquire Complex in a 50/50 ownership structure. That February, Verizon sold its exchange business and related landline activities in California, Florida and Texas, to Frontier Communications Corporation. In July 2016, the firm acquired the core internet operations and land holdings of Yahoo Inc. for $4.8 billion. Employee benefits include 401(k); corporate discounts; health and dependent care spending accounts; life and AD&D insurance; commuter spending accounts; medical, dental and vision coverage; disability; adoption reimbursement; and tuition assistance.

TYPES OF BUSINESS: Online Community-Business Reviews Advertising Services Users Ratings

Yelp, Inc. is a web-based company operating a number of online city guides, each consisting of user-generated review content covering the local area. The firm, through Yelp.com, offers extensive coverage for a number of major metropolitan areas throughout North America, including Atlanta, Los Angeles, Miami, Houston, New York, Portland, San Diego, Seattle and Washington, D.C. Yelp also offers its services in Canada, South America, Europe, Singapore and Australia. The company currently averages 135 million unique visitors per month across its various local sites. In total, its visitors have written over 95 million reviews. Yelp.com is a cross between a review service and a community-based site. To write reviews, users must register and create a profile page, which can include photos and personal information as well as links to all reviews written by a particular user. Reviews cover a wide variety of categories, including restaurants; shopping; nightlife; arts and entertainment; spas and salons; doctors and hospitals; auto mechanics; hotels; schools; banks; public services, such as buses and trains; real estate; and religious organizations, with users encouraged to create reviews for new categories. The site earns revenues through advertising, and local business owners are encouraged to create their own profiles, allowing them to track and respond to customer-generated reviews. Yelp can be accessed through applications available on iOS and Android phones. Approximately 70% of all of the searches on Yelp.com come from mobile devices, and the application is used on millions of unique devices per month. Yelp Reservations (formerly SeatMe) is an app for booking restaurant reservations. In 2016, the firm invested in Nowait, which enables users to see how long they would have to wait at a restaurant that does not accept reservations. That November, Yelp announced plans to scale back its operations outside North America and halt international expansion.

A Short E-Commerce & Internet Business Glossary 3G: Short for third-generation, this term refers to high speed enhancements to wireless service. 3G was introduced into widespread use in the early 2000s. 3G enabled wireless e-mail, Internet browsing and data transfer at improved speeds. 3G speeds generally range from 144 kbps to over 4 Mbps. However, 3G is being replaced by faster technologies. 3PF: See “Third-Party Fulfillment (3PF).” 3PL: See “Third-Party Logistics (3PL).” 4G: Fourth-Generation cellular wireless service. Technologies include Advanced LTE and HSPA+. These technologies enable high speed downloading via smartphones and other wireless devices. It is particularly useful for viewing videos and for transferring large files. 4PL: See “Fourth-Party Logistics (4PL).” 5G: Fifth Generation wireless technologies. Goals of firms working on 5G technologies include improved latency rates (the speed at which two devices communicates with each other, such as a smartphone and a Wi-Fi router), as well as much higher download speeds. It is believed that download speeds of as high as 10 gigabits per second may be achievable, vastly higher than 4G service. This would enable, for example, the very fast download of high-definition video. 802.11a (Wi-Fi): A faster wireless network standard than 802.11b (“Wi-Fi”). 802.11a operates in the 5GHz band at speeds of 54 Mbps. This standard may be affected by weather and is not as suitable for outdoor use. 802.11 standards are set by the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers). 802.11ac: An ultra-high-speed Wi-Fi standard. It operates on the 5 Ghz band and is backwards compatible with older 802.11 standards. 802.11 standards are set by the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers). This specification is capable of 1 gigabit per second data transfer speeds. 802.11b (Wi-Fi): A Wi-Fi short-range wireless connection standard created by the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers). It operates at 11

www.plunkettresearch.com

Mbps and can be used to connect computer devices to each other. 802.11b competes with the Bluetooth standard. Its range is up to 380 feet, but 150 feet or so may be more practical in some installations. 802.11g (Wi-Fi): An addition to the series of 802.11 specifications for Wi-Fi wireless networks, 802.11g provides data transfer at speeds of up to 54 Mbps in the 2.4-GHz band. It can easily exchange data with 802.11b-enabled devices, but at much higher speed. 802.11g equipment, such as wireless access points, will be able to provide simultaneous WLAN connectivity for both 802.11g and 802.11b equipment. The 802.11 standards are set by the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers). 802.11n (MIMO): Multiple Input Multiple Output antenna technology. MIMO is a new standard in the series of 802.11 Wi-Fi specifications for wireless networks. It has the potential of providing data transfer speeds of 100 to perhaps as much as 500 Mbps. 802.11n also boasts better operating distances than current networks. MIMO uses spectrum more efficiently without any loss of reliability. The technology is based on several different antennas all tuned to the same channel, each transmitting a different signal. 802.15: See “Ultrawideband (UWB).” For 802.15.1, see “Bluetooth.” 802.16: See “WiMAX.” Active Server Page (ASP): A web page that includes one or more embedded programs, usually written in Java or Visual Basic code. See “Java.” Active X: A set of technologies developed by Microsoft Corporation for sharing information across different applications. ADM: The application, development and maintenance of software. ADN: See “Advanced Digital Network (ADN).” Advanced Digital Network (ADN): See “Integrated Digital Network (IDN).” AI: See “Artificial Intelligence (AI).” Ajax: Asynchronous JavaScript and XML. It is a technology that enables web page data to update

Plunkett Research, Ltd.

within a browser on a continuous basis, thus updating the page on the fly. This means that applications that reside on the Internet, such as instant messaging, can appear to run so quickly that they seem like programs that are local to a user's computer. An example is Google Inc.'s Google Maps, launched in 2005. During that year, Microsoft also announced services that will run via Ajax. Analog: A form of transmitting information characterized by continuously variable quantities. Digital transmission, in contrast, is characterized by discrete bits of information in numerical steps. An analog signal responds to changes in light, sound, heat and pressure. Analytics: With regard to software, the programs that analyze data for noteworthy trends. For example, retailers use analytics to track sales and inventory for positive or negative trends over time. This enables them to better predict the future need for inventory and to establish the most effective pricing and marketing of individual items. ANSI: American National Standards Institute. Founded in 1918, ANSI is a private, non-profit organization that administers and coordinates the U.S. voluntary standardization and conformity assessment system. Its mission is to enhance both the global competitiveness of U.S. business and the quality of U.S. life by promoting and facilitating voluntary consensus standards and conformity assessment systems, and safeguarding their integrity. See www.ansi.org. Applets: Small, object-based applications written in Java that net browsers can download from the Internet on an as-needed basis. These may be software, accessories (such as spell checkers or calculators), information-packed databases or other items. See “Object Technology.” Application Program Interface (API): A set of protocols, routines and tools used by computer programmers as a way of setting common definitions regarding how one piece of software communicates with another. For example, an API can be used to connect an accounting or customer transaction database to an email service or a CRM (customer relationship management) system. Application Service Provider (ASP): A web site that enables utilization of software and databases that

www.plunkettresearch.com

reside permanently on a service company's remote web server, rather than having to be downloaded to the user's computer. Advantages include the ability for multiple remote users to access the same tools over the Internet and the fact that the ASP provider is responsible for developing and maintaining the software. (ASP is also an acronym for “active server page,” which is not related.) For the latest developments in ASP, see “Software as a Service (SaaS).” Applications: Computer programs and systems that allow users to interface with a computer and that collect, manipulate, summarize or provide easy access to data and information. Also, see “Apps.” Applied Research: The application of compounds, processes, materials or other items discovered during basic research to practical uses. The goal is to move discoveries along to the final development phase. Apps: Short for applications, apps are small software programs designed to run primarily on mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets. Also known as “mobile apps.” Archie: This software tool can be used to find files stored on anonymous FTP sites, as long as the user knows the file name or a sub-string of the file name that is being searched for. See “File Transfer Protocol (FTP).” ARPANet: Advanced Research Projects Agency Network. The forefather of the Internet, ARPANet was developed during the latter part of the 1960s by the United States Department of Defense. ARPU: See “Average Revenue Per User (ARPU).” Artificial Intelligence (AI): The use of computer technology to perform functions somewhat like those normally associated with human intelligence, such as reasoning, learning and self-improvement. ASCII: American Standard Code for Information Exchange. There are 128 standard ASCII codes that represent all Latin letters, numbers and punctuation. Each ASCII code is represented by a seven-digit binary number, such as 0000000 or 0000111. This code is accepted as a standard throughout the world.

Asia Pacific Advisory Committee (APAC): A multicountry committee representing the Asia and Pacific region. ASP: See “Application Service Provider (ASP).” Asymmetrical Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL): High-speed technology that enables the transfer of data over existing copper phone lines, allowing more bandwidth downstream than upstream. Asynchronous Communications: A stream of data routed through a network as generated instead of in organized message blocks. Most personal computers use this format to send data. Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM): A digital switching and transmission technology based on high speed. ATM allows voice, video and data signals to be sent over a single telephone line at speeds from 25 million to 1 billion bits per second (bps). This digital ATM speed is much faster than traditional analog phone lines, which allow no more than 2 million bps. See “Broadband.” Augmented Reality: Any technology designed to enhance a user's experience by adding to the environment with computer-generated means. For example, MARA (Mobile Augmented Reality Applications) is a method of enabling detailed information about a specific geographic location to appear on a cell phone's screen, pioneered by Nokia. It relies on special tools within the cell phone, including a camera, GPS, a compass and Internet access. A MARA-equipped phone might display details about a restaurant's offerings, downloaded from the Internet, when the phone's digital camera is aimed at a restaurant's front entry. Or, the screen might display information from a service like Google Maps as an overlay on the digital camera image. Average Revenue Per User (ARPU): A measure of the average monthly billing revenue of a wireless company on a per user basis. Baby Boomer: Generally refers to people born from 1946 to 1964. In the U.S., the initial number of Baby Boomers totaled about 78 million. The term evolved to describe the children of soldiers and war industry workers who were involved in World War II and who began forming families after the war's end. In 2011, the oldest Baby Boomers began reaching the traditional retirement age of 65.

Backbone: Traditionally the part of a communications network that carries the heaviest traffic; the high-speed line or series of connections that forms a large pathway within a network or within a region. The combined networks of AT&T, MCI and other large telecommunications companies make up the backbone of the Internet. Back-Office: Generally considered to include such areas as accounting, human resources, call centers, financial transaction processing. A back-office application is a software program designed to handle back-office tasks. Also, see “Business Process Outsourcing (BPO).” Bandwidth: The data transmission capacity of a network, measured in the amount of data (in bits and bauds) it can transport in one second. A full page of text is about 15,000 to 20,000 bits. Full-motion, fullscreen video requires about 10 million bits per second, depending on compression. Basic Research: Attempts to discover compounds, materials, processes or other items that may be largely or entirely new and/or unique. Basic research may start with a theoretical concept that has yet to be proven. The goal is to create discoveries that can be moved along to applied research. Basic research is sometimes referred to as “blue sky” research. Baud: Refers to how many times the carrier signal in a modem switches value per second or how many bits a modem can send and receive in a second. Beam: The coverage and geographic service area offered by a satellite transponder. A global beam effectively covers one-third of the earth’s surface.

Sharing Economy: That part of economic activity that is directed by firms like Airbnb that direct consumers to assets owned by others in order to deliver a service or temporary use of a product or property. This practice works best for items that are costly to purchase or that the consumer may want to use only on an occasional or one-time basis. Consequently, it is extremely popular in the rental of vacation properties or private homes as an alternative to commercial hotels and resorts. When sharing is done on a for-profit basis, it is essentially a rental practice that affords consumers the ability to rent or borrow everything from hotel rooms to cars to private homes. It may also be known as collaborative consumption. While the sharing activity is brokered or directed by a lead firm’s electronic platform, the final delivery is peer-to-peer. That is, the consuming party contracts with the providing party via the online platform. The firms that connect customers to these workers often are internet-based and software-driven (rather than storefront-based). These platforms typically rely on technologies such as mobile apps to facilitate transactions; rely on user-based online rating systems for quality control; charge a percentage fee for facilitating the transaction (and may also charge a standard fee for providing an online description and photo of the asset involved); and collect and distribute the funds that are involved in the transaction. If services to be provided by workers are also involved in the sharing transaction, they typically work under contract-based relationships, rather than employeebased. They may also be known as contingent workers. Also see "Contingent Worker," and "Sharing Economy." Shockwave: An authoring tool that allows multimedia presentations to appear on the Internet.
