Internet technologies open a new world for business-to-business electronic commerce, and topping Robert Moskowitz's to-do list is the Automotive Network eXchange (ANX), being created by the Automotive Industry Action Group (AIAG). ANX is a TCP/IP network that the automotive industry will use for trading-partner communication. It soon will select an overseer who will certify and monitor Internet service providers
to a performance and reliability standard developed by the AIAG and the overseer. Ahead of Moskowitz is the pilot and rollout of ANX, which demands deployment of multiple security technologies to ensure the privacy and integrity of the trading partners' communication. n Millennium Forecast: High-frequency and high-bandwidth spread-spectrum radio community networks that can supply 10-Mbps transmissions to every home, and when coupled with Internet telephony, will produce real local-loop competition. n Millennium Disturbance: Global Positioning System (GPS) failures in October 1999 when the satellites' week counters roll over.
