Until recently, a large proportion of internet access was via slow occasional access over dial up links. However, cheap, always on internet access is now freely available in most western countries and an increasing proportion of businesses (even SMEs) now have this. In B2B, there do not appear to be any clear winners. And so a particular industry might well be trying to support 3 Independent .com markets, two large BAM consortia and 10 private trading networks. For the smaller suppliers and buyers, this means connecting to many different incompatible markets. For the suppliers it means providing their catalogue in several different forms and makes integration for both sides a hard task. So what we have is several overlapping hub and spoke models. In the recent past, a series of applications have appeared that pass messages or data between internet users directly, rather than routing them through a central hub or web site. Generally there is a central index for searching (although even that can be distributed) but the information is passed directly. That is: from Peer to Peer.
