*April 13*  "Business Use of WAN Technology"
                    Tim Bresnahan, Tom Hubbard and Garth Saloner

This talk reports a medium-scale interview study of Wide Area
Networking Technology where all the applications cross firm
boundaries.  We were looking for changes in the way business users
interacted with their trading partners, enabled by the electronic
links.  Somewhat surprisingly, we find that the bulk of applications
in this area are low-bandwidth.  Significant changes in business
interaction are also rare, though greatly transforming when found.
The thrust of the talk is to explain the forces holding back wider and
more effective use of this technology.

*April 20*   No Seminar

*April 27*   "Yahoo: Indexing the Worldwide Web"
                     Jerry Yang and David Filo
