Has Gartner Group Lost It?
from the cool-aid-with-vodka-on-the-rocks dept
I'm always surprised by the ridiculous values predicted for the future of internet commerce. Usually the studies that shock me are done by unknown companies trying to make a name for themselves. Well not this time, the recent study done by the Gartner group predicting that Internet commerce in Europe will reach £1,200 Billion by 2004 really caught me off guard. How they could predict such a huge increase left me baffled, am I the only one that doesn't get it?
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
