Chao Wang, a professor at Zhejiang University in southeast China, recently used the Internet to bid successfully on a contract with General Electric Co., for example. Wang leads a university laboratory that specializes in commercial applications of fluorescent materials. His market had been limited to Chinese bulb manufacturers until he discovered online bidding.

"The Internet is amazing," says Wang, who was interviewed in Zhejiang by e-mail. "It gives a breakthrough in our market, and we've made ourselves known."
