From the Paper
"Technological developments in the field of communications and other areas are profoundly changing traditional media business as well as the broader media and communication industries. With the advent of digitized information it is now possible to exchange digital information over the same networks instantaneously on a global scale. According to Murphie and Potts (2003) the advantage of digitisation include: the speed with which huge volumes of digital information may be processed and manipulated; the ready convergence of diverse information types into digital data; and the speed and flexibility with which this data may be compressed and distributed through information networks. Internet is the main digital communications network through which digital information is exchanged today."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Manuel Castells in his book The Rise Of The Network Society, describes our era as the time for the "Information Technology Revolution" . He speaks of many different ways in which the Internet has so far changed our lives and how it will affect our lives in the future. He argues that the most obvious changes can be found when exploring the relationships between society, the state and the overall economy. The most important of these changes that he suggests, is the increased dependency of networking within our culture and business practices. Interestingly, Castells makes a point in arguing that the Internet plays a key role in globalisation , in that people all over the world feel far less isolated because there is this technology, which has allowed for decreased space between all parts of the world. He suggests that time itself for all people, will be changed. Everything can be done incredibly faster. Keeping in contact with friends (all over the world), dating people from one's own city without having met them in the real world, adoption of children, divorcing of spouses - the list goes on. The most important of these changes however, is the process of information. It can now be done in real-time, as things happen. This was possible with radio and television, but with a key difference. The Internet allows for anyone to report information. The information does not have to be pre-prepared as a package, but (once again) as it happens - live - from a considerable amount of viewpoints. By having so many viewpoints of any particular event (professional and non-professional), the Internet essentially breaks down the authoritative nature of news in general."

The Music Industry and the Internet, 2003.

Abstract
This paper explains that, despite the enthusiastic participation of some recording artists such as the Dave Matthews Band and Courtney Love, the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) has brutally attacked file sharing programs, such as Napster, which allow the downloading of music from the Internet, by arguing that the availability of music on the Internet is destroying record sales. The author points out that the industry's use of "fake files," which attempted to halt Internet music downloading, was an almost laughable endeavor, but intentionally damaging a consumer's computer was not so humorous. The paper relates that, in 1999, a law was passed, which declared that recorded music was the property of the company that recorded the music, not the artist; this outraged many artists.
From the Paper
"The Dave Matthews Band broke ground by releasing the first single from their 2001 album "Everyday" through the now defunct file-sharing program Napster. Napster, an Internet based file-sharing program, gave its users the ability to search for and download music (in MP3 format) to their computers by directly tapping into another user's computer. The program gained popularity rapidly, with millions of users at its peak in 2000 and 2001. When the Dave Matthews Band premiered "I Did It" through Napster, the album debuted at number one, and generated the highest first-week sales the band had experienced thus far."

The Internet and the Music Industry, 2004.
This paper argues that music downloads and online radio have a positive effect on the music industry.

Abstract
This paper explains that online radio, which simply rebroadcasts the content from existing, traditional radio stations or is solely virtual, has done the music industry much more good than harm because it is able to expose a greater diversity of people to artists and a greater diversity of artists to people. The author, using statistics, points out the correlation that the more you burn from the Internet, the more CDs you buy; therefore, the author seeks other causes for the lagging sales in the music industry, such as the recession, competition from other forms of entertainment, consolidation of radio stations, the ever-increasing CD prices, and even cellphones. The paper relates that the music industry?s legal campaign against downloading is being circumvented by new technology, such as ?Grouper?, which only allows users to ?stream? songs from a peer and, thus, operates legally under the ?private performance? section of the copyright law.

From the Paper
"As technology increased, so did the popularity of file sharing software like Napster. Although the use of such file-sharing software to download non-copyrighted material is not illegal, the propensity was for users to download copyrighted materials (?File Sharing?). For the last few years, the legalities of file sharing have made the issue one of the central debates. Record companies and musicians argue on both sides of the issue. Most, however, feel that unauthorized music downloads infringe on their livelihood and have negatively affected the profitability of the music industry as a whole. However, this may not be true."

Future challenges for the Tourism and Travel industry in the Digital Age
From the Paper
The growth of the WWW on the Internet has created many opportunities as well as challenges for commercial businesses and industries. One of the challenges for a small- or medium-sized business is how to be found by the potential customer. This is underlined in a recent article about international marketing in Sloan Management Review (Quelch and Klein, 1996). The authors state that "the potential for 'information overload' is enormous" (p. 66). Even though the lack of rules on the net is critical to electronic commerce (Spar and Bussgang, 1996), this is not so critical for Internet as an information source.

"The food retail industry is a massive industry that reaches into every home in America. The industry is characterized by significant economies of scale, complex distribution networks, and razor-thin margins. As a very mature industry, firms seek out any opportunity for differentiation to gain competitive advantages. With high capital investment and other barriers to entry, newcomers are not likely to succeed in the industry. In the future, we will continue to see the addition of value-added services to the traditional retail formats and increased consolidation as the industry leaders struggle to grab market share."

Abstract
The report focuses on three items and their impact on the tourism industry. First, how database and loyalty marketing has helped relationship marketing. Second, how Internet and email has affected how customers search for information and purchase. Third, best practices and trends used by companies to gain a competitive advantage in their industry.
From the Paper
"Information systems are helping businesses better target their marketing efforts by storing information from customers received from surveys, invoice information, forms and contest giveaways. This allows Managers to execute complex communications programs that reinforce their name and build brand loyalty. Business owners know that to stay in business, some customers have to become repeat and loyal customers. According to an article in Ecom World (Shelton, 1999), customer loyalty is critical for three reasons:
1. Loyal, repeat customers cost less in marketing, support and advertising
2. Positive word-of-mouth from loyal customers brings new customers
3. Customers that have a poor experience will tell others."

Abstract
This essay discusses changes that have resulted and affected the popular music industry from the 1960s to present. Recent technolgoical advancements such as CD burning and file sharing have seen drops in CD sales which have affected the way the 'Big Five' music companies sell to the market. The paper shows how the music industry has gone through major developments which have had implications to record companies, the artists, the public and law enforcers. The paper makes reference to a number of Australian artists.
From the Paper
"Prior to the 1960s the Australian music industry was an unrecognised and basically nonexistent market being mainly the result of its geographical location. The mid 1960s saw local artists recording original songs with great success, and a diverse array of artists such as the Easybeats, the Seekers and Rolf Harris became international sensations (Simpson, 2002). In the 1970s the emergence of artists in the industry became even more significant when Australian groups such as AC/DC and Men at Work began to hold a considerable portion of the market."

"According to Buckley (2000) while U.S. recording industry officials wring their hands over Napster, the worldwide black market for illicitly copied music is growing even faster. Sales of pirated music topped half a billion units last year and cost the music industry $5 billion in lost revenues. As of the turn of the 21st century, one in three CDs sold around the world last year were copies, churned out in pirate?s hidden factories that can press up to 100,000 discs a day, according to the International Federation of Phonographic Industries. In Brazil, Latin America's music piracy leader, ?40 percent of CDs and 99 percent of cassettes sold were illegal copies, a total value of $180 million,? said IFPI. ?In Mexico, the 1999 pirate music market was worth $70 million, or 40 percent of all music sold, the agency reported.?

"Three of the most popular phone companies are Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile, and their business models are similar. For example, Verizon has built its business on a simple, powerful premise; the more people connected to a network, the more valuable the network is to those who use it (Verizon 2006, at pp.1). T-Mobile has focused on servicing the customer, and ranks higher than the industry average on customer service. All three phone companies offer phones that feature a host of applications that offer simple solutions for organizing hectic work and personal life schedules. The new AT&T is the largest telecommunication company in the United States and one of the largest in the world (AT&T 2006, at pp.1)."
