Abstract
The promise of the electronic age is one of making information accessible to people without time, place, or format constraints. Today's technologies and applications pale in the face of the opportunities presented by tomorrow's high speed, commercial networks. Networks are restructuring our businesses and herald the inevitable transformation of higher education. This paper focuses on issues associated with the evolution of the way business works, drawing on influences of the restructuring of businesses on universities, and it suggests how remote access to university resources may transform the institution.
