| The initial scene for Web'96 will be set by two major players: Netscape with plugin partners, and Sun/JavaSoft with Java licensees. |
| SGI may also play important role due to the leadership in VRML. |
| Other major vendors such as IBM, Microsoft or Oracle are still trying to play it 'their' rather than the Web way which might result in unpredictable developments and shaping the Netscape/Sun competition/collaboration patterns. |
| Web technologies will quickly acquire significant power and penetrate corporate computing/information systems. |
| No simple unique standards are expected in the near term since Netscape has the largest Internet penetration, Sun has the best Internet software technology, SGI has the best visualization platform etc. |
