The advent of information technologies (the Internet, mobile communication, digital television), coupled with the increasing power assumed by network infrastructures in every form, a new viable business model for the supply of services to companies and between companies has come into being. The players of this new economic model are the NSP's, the application specialists and the ASP's. These English terms and acronyms come from the USA where this economic model was developed.
