Answer to Question 1

The Internet allows anyone connected to it to communicate and compute at any time, or anywhere. Satellite systems, digital cell phones, and personal communications services will make it even easier to coordinate work and information in many parts of the globe that cannot be reached by existing ground-based systems. Companies can use Internet technology to construct virtual private networks to reduce wide-area networking costs and staffing requirements. If it wishes, the company can outsource the virtual private network to an Internet service provider.
All global systems can't be based primarily on the Internet because currently not all countries have the same access to the Internet. Additionally, high-traffic volumes at certain times of the day in various regions may impede responsiveness.
