Today's Story Highlights

The Rules of Sustainability
For online retailers, creating an unmatched customer experience is not
only a top priority -- it is also a business imperative. They must make
sure the items customers want to order are in stock, and that the orders
are packaged correctly and shipped quickly, and delivered to the right
address. Focusing solely on these necessities tends to be a shortsighted
way of viewing the process, however.

Google Fiber Missteps Could Tarnish Brand
This winter has been very rough on Google Fiber, Alphabet's high-speed
Internet service. An overabundance of snow, ice and water have caused
service outages. Why do these issues not seem to hamper competitors? The
latest news is that the service is leaving Louisville, supposedly due to
a faulty installation process. Why not correct the faults? What is the
real problem at Google Fiber?

Will Congress Override State Net Neutrality Laws?
Way back in the dark ages in May 2011 -- about 2,345 Internet years ago
-- I wrote a column about Net neutrality, which was in court at the
time. For those of you who are not sure, "Net neutrality" is short for
"Internet neutrality" or "network neutrality." The concept addresses
user access to the Internet, and the debate around Net neutrality
centers on whether ISPs can limit, tier, block or otherwise affect
Internet performance.

Walmart E-Commerce Has Blowout Q4
Walmart's e-commerce sales were up 43 percent for Q4 FY 2019. Sam's Club
e-commerce sales grew 21 percent. Customers "continue to respond to our
increasingly omnichannel offerings. We're executing against our strategy
and it's working," said Walmart spokesperson Robyn Babbitt. Walmart's e-
commerce focus "remains on earning repeat visits and strengthening our
assortment of merchandise."

Blending Offline and Online Commerce With Advanced Payments Tech
Technology by its nature changes the market. The introduction of
efficient solutions spurred by technology to meet consumer demand
creates new positive effects across an economy. Plenty of industries --
entertainment, transportation, the press and retail, for example -- have
experienced changes in business models, delivery methods and
competitors, due to the development of new technologies.
