Oracle grateful dotcom 'lunacy' is over

NEIL TAYLOR

The economic downturn in the United States will not slow the growth of the Internet, according to Oracle chairman and chief executive Larry Ellison.

He could not predict when the economy would recover, but said the technology market was ready when it did.

He said: "This lunacy, thank God it's over, but it really was lunacy. Everyone was talking about their Internet strategy, and it was bound to come crashing down because there were no profits.

"Since when do we take companies with no profits public? No profits, no business model, it was horrifying.

"The dotcoms were the most amazing fantasies in the history of the stock market."
