(internet reality) Of course how many ISP's does it take to get everbody on the net. How much bandwidth does a person need when the best information off the net is the written word--and your movies and teeve are beamed down on DirecTV? Biotechs on the other hand will increasingly do what big pharma should be doing--cannibalizing their own products with better solutions. That said, there are a few big research driven pharmas that we never talk about here, nobody is going to criticize Merck for not doing enuf biotech. (whoops, now that I've read the rest of the subthread I see now that a couple folks already brought up Merck). Healthcare as a percentage of the American GNP is awfully high but what would you spend for the cure you need--if you've got the money good health and long life are worth paying for. I'd also add that there is a huge demand for better drugs for mental conditions. Somebody brought up pharmacogenomics--mabye that is where we will see the best use of pharmacogenomics over the years ahead. For instance, the McFarland insomniac pedigree is not being threated very effectively--what the males in my familty wouldn't give for the perfect night's sleep!
