OK but the point is it is difficult for online retailers to make money, we know this from the consumer space. The reason b-2-b looks promising to some is it looks like the companies will be profitable. I definitely think the outsourced enterprise automation companies can make money since many software implementations for some specific niches are in the 5mm+ range now, this doesn't include hiring staff, maintenance etc. For now money losing retailers are still able to IPO but for how long? The studies I have read talk about b-2-b prospects excluding the retailers (they do include auctions though which is not a big money maker either). Anyway just thinking out loud here.
