One-fifth of distributors each receive over 1,000 unique hits per week on their Web site. Presentation of company information is the most common service provided on the Web sites of the distributors surveyed. Detailed line card and company personnel contact information are next most common. Slightly more than half of the distributors planning to offer Web transaction capabilities anticipate they will provide this service in 1997. About one-third said this service will arrive in 1998 and one in five did not know when they would offer it.
Distributors expect a steady increase in the use of their Web sites to carry out transactions.
