Slide 12: Advantage: USA
Traditional advertising is arcing toward direct selling.
USA is already there. 2/3rd of it its revenue is derived from transactions, and
it's growing 2 to 5 times faster than the largest media companies.
The Internet is the first convergent medium. Television will be next.
USA is among the very few companies making profits on the Internet -- in high
growth, high margin, highly scaleable businesses.
Interactivity enables the convergence of entertainment and commerce.
USA is focused on this convergence. Nobody else balances a storytelling
sensibility with a merchandising expertise with a massive transactional
infrastructure.
