This question might have been answered before.  If so, I apologize.


Also, if there's another place to ask this question, I'd appreciate 
someone letting me know about it.

I'm associated with a large (nationwide) tractor-trailer distributor,
and would like to know what benefit it would be to the company for it
to get Internet access.

This is really a broader question of what benefits all companies have
by being connected.

I suppose one benefit is the connectivity between each of its branches.
But, I assume there's much more to be gained.

Also, how does a large corporation become connected?  Would local 
colleges be willing (in general) to give out some internet addresses?


Thanks very much,

Joseph R. Skoler
