RE: UKNM: Dirty Tricks in the UK web industry?

[Glen Collins]

I certainly believe that the new media industry is going to change over the

next couple of years as it broadens out, not necessarily purely because of

the tightening of belts though.


Up until now, it's been a very nice, everyone knows everyone, kind of

industry, where people who step on other peoples toes usually get a bad name

in the industry and as a consequence find leads drying up.


Also, God forbid, we're actually going to get to the stage where most

companies have a website (those things about industry growth we've been

saying for the last 4 years about new media really could be coming true?!),

and new business won't be purely from companies who want a new site, but

companies who already have a site / agency.


As the industry grows up I think we'll see more and more of this type of

aggresive nature.


Is this just a sign that the industry is coming of age...?
