The Internet and e-commerce
A. The Internet
The Internet service provider or ISP is the organization that provides you with Internet access. You register and open an account, then they give you an email address so that you can communicate by email with other users. Some ISPs have their own content – news, information and so on but many do not. After you log on by entering your user name and password, you can surf to any site on the World Wide Web. If you’re looking for a site about a particular subject, you can use a search engine like Google or Yahoo. When you’ve finished, remember to log off for security reasons.
В. Clicks-and-mortar
My name’s John and I own a chain-of sports shops. Last year I started an e-commerce operation, selling goods over the Internet. We’ve done well. Visitors don’t have trouble finding what they want, adding items to their shopping cart and paying for them securely by credit card. Last year we had two-million-unique users (different individual visitors) who generated 35 million hits or page views. That means our web pages were viewed a total of 35 million times!
E-commerce or e-tailing has even acted as a form of advertising and increased levels of business in our traditional bricks-and-mortar shops! Pure Internet commerce operations are very difficult. To succeed, I think you need a combination of traditional retailing and e-commerce: clicks-and-mortar. In our case, this has also helped us solve the last mile problem, the physical delivery of goods to Internet customers: we just deliver from our local stores!

С. B2B, B2C and B2G
Selling to the public on the Internet is business-to-consumer or B2C e-commerce. Some experts think that the real future of e-commerce is going to be business-to-business or B2B, with firms ordering from suppliers over the Internet.
Businesses can also use the Internet to communicate with government departments, apply for government contracts and pay taxes: business-to-government or B2G.
1) Find expressions inВ opposite with the following meanings.
1) traditional shops (two possibilities)
2) selling on the Internet (two possibilities)
3) where you put your items before you purchase them
4) physical delivery of goods to Internet customers
5) how many times a webpage is viewed
What type of e-commerce are the following? Choose from B2B, В2С or B2G.
1. Private individuals саn rent a car without going through a call centre.
2. The city is looking for construction companies to build a new airport. There are hundreds of pages of specifications you can obtain from the city authorities.
3. Car companies are getting together to buy components from suppliers in greater quantities, reducing prices.
4. Small businesses can get advice about wages, taxation, etc.
5. Members of the public can buy legal advice from law firms.
6. It can seem very convenient, but if you are out when the goods you ordered arrive at your house, you’re in trouble!
