More recently, as the Web proved to be more than a fashion, panies have started to buy and sell products and services with one another. Such businesstobusiness sales make sense because business people typically know what product they39。 re looking for. Noheless, many panies still hesitate to use the Web because of doubts about its reliability. Businesses need to feel they can trust the pathway between them and the supplier, says senior analyst Blane Erwin of Forrester Research. Some panies are limiting the risk by conducting online transactions only with established business partners who are given access to the pany39。 s private intra.

And the cost of puting power continues to free fall, which is a good sign for any enterprise setting up shop in silicon. People looking back 5 or 10 years from now may well wonder why so few panies took the online plunge. 31. We learn from the beginning of the passage that Web business [A] has been striving to expand its market. [B] intended to follow a fanciful fashion. [C] tried but in vain to control the market.
