The Internet is no longer a threat

摘要

It was just five years ago that many distributors identified the Internet as one of their biggest threats. These distributors were worried that the Internet would allow buyers to purchase products directly from the manufacturer rather than through the traditional channels. (Never mind that buyers would do this anyway), A lot has changed in five years. Today, the Internet certainly hasn't become the threat that many had envisioned. In fact, it's become an important tool used by distributors to increase sales.
