72 Despite large start-up costs that have traditionally attended the opening of a new postsecondary
institution, the internet has started to reduce the large capital requirements that
have hitherto acted as a significant barrier to entry for new universities. Physical
infrastructure, staffing, housing, food services, recreation and athletics are vital to traditional
post-secondary institutions, but are relatively unimportant considerations for setting up a
post-secondary educational institution on the World Wide Web, where both teaching and
learning are done in absentia. In addition, the increased competition arising from the ability
of geographically diverse incumbent universities to compete directly for the same students is
a potentially very valuable instrument in weeding out poor suppliers of internet-based
education.
