Accessing the World Through Global Business Communication

"This is Nikolai Pancritz with American Resource Network for Expert Village. So we're talking about international trade, international business and this is what first you need when you're establishing the office. Obviously, a computer, because we're talking about communication. A laptop would be very very important. Most of the people in business already, you probably have a laptop. But if you don't, you must buy yourself a laptop because you most likely will be traveling to other countries. Now, if the laptop is set up satellite-enabled or Internet-enabled, you will be accessing the Internet all the time, because we're going to be discussing internet protocol communication because that is what's going to make your business transactions fast and very cheap. Not like in the past, three dollars a minute. You will be able to do things. So now, you need a computer or a laptop. And for the sake of demonstration, I set up both. This is my office computer and this is my laptop. Now, what we're going to do, just imagine that there's a border and this is Russia, for example, and this is America. It's important to understand, because I'm going to be working on both sides. So we are in Russia. (Speaks in Russian language.) Or Germany. (Speaks in German language.) Well, America or foreign countries. Now, let's go to the things that you most likely will need, and we're going to make a quick presentation. You need probably a website, so your potential clients on the other side of the world will be able to read up on you and know what you're all about. You're probably, and the better the website, probably the better you're going to look. You need Internet, so most likely you're going to have an Internet provider, a local provider, and subscribe to the Internet. That's the beginning."
