The Internet is quickly dissolving the boundaries of time zones, geography, and even language. This program, hosted by CNBC's Tyler Mathisen, brings together visionaries and commentators to spotlight Internet applications in vogue around the world. Businesses including real-time Internet research service iNetNow as well as educational initiatives such as Africam.com, a provider of virtual safaris, are profiled. Broadband capabilities and wireless access are explored, along with day-trading and venture capital. Cybersurgery, an online auction, and Web-based games also grab a share of the limelight.
