While many Uruguayan companies have developed websites, it is clearly the case that most lack an Internet strategy, treating the Internet as just another advertising medium. This is clearly a serious oversight. Selling goods and services on-line is only one of the many ways in which a website can be used, and at the moment, it is far from being the most significant. A website can offer a company new ways of interacting with consumers, suppliers or even their own staff. This first issue begins with a timely reminder that, at the moment, Uruguay is still far from being an on-line nation.
Internet access is limited to a small section of the population.
However, this situation is changing rapidly. Saludos, Stephen Moston 2.
