Rapid developments in the application and use of the Internet create new opportunities as well as the reformulation of ‘older problems’. This paper reviews current trends in Internet use, realizing that this is a ‘snapshot’ subject to rapid obsolescence. The paper critically canvasses what is on the Internet and focuses upon the broadening opportunities for e‐commerce—incorporating e‐channels and e‐marketing. More importantly, the paper highlights emerging problems of Internet abuse, intrusions into privacy and the need for global management of the Internet at a time of increasing exposure and vulnerability of many stakeholders finding themselves dependent on, or addicted to, the Internet.
