RE: UKNM: Dot Com Fever

[Glen Collins]

Gary said, "All the comments that were made could be equally applied to any

business sector"


Agree with most of this, although I think (contraversially, slightly

defending the programme now..!) that it is fair to say that the industry

we're in has a higher than average proportion of business plans floating

around with absolutely no substance and looking for quite ridiculously high

amounts of money with a view of "if you throw enough money at it something

must stick".


Lets face it, it's a journo's / programme makers heaven out that at the

moment so I think we can expect more press of this nature over the coming

months.


I think it's our job - the people on this list who have a genuine belief in

this digital media - to ensure that there are enough real business plans /

businesses out there to prove there is some substance to this industry -

which I whole-heartedly believe.


If this, coupled with the recent (over sensationalised I admit) press about

the share-values 'crashing', means that we will see the emergence of the

'proper' digital companies and the decline in business plans / businesses

with no substance I for one don't think that's such a bad thing.
