Is The Tech Recession Over?
from the possibly dept
A new report has shown that spending on IT has gone up for the first time since 2000, suggesting that companies may believe the worst of the recession is over - and they're willing to venture out to spend on technology again. Of course, the study covers a time period that didn't take into account the collapse of WorldCom, Global Crossing, Qwest, and others, which could hurt confidence in the sector.
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
