ADVISORY/Experts Available to Discuss E-Signature Usage.Business Editors ADVISORY... --(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 18, 2002 TOPIC: Although the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act has been in effect since November 2000, it appears that many people still prefer to use a physical signature due to security concerns, according to an article by CNET Networks. Some analysts attribute these concerns to the fact that the e-sign law does not yet recognize a standard for electronic signatures, the article says. Furthermore, many companies do not want to accept e-signatures as the law and electronic signatures have not been tested within the courts, which could provide more validity to consumers and businesses alike.
