Interesting article on internet consulting firms.

From the article...

"It's a crystal-ball business, but no one has the crystal ball," says Julio Gomez, who made the online-brokerage projection when he worked at Forrester. Being wrong hasn't hurt Gomez. In 1997 he left Forrester to start Gomez Advisors, which is thriving.

Stephan, you are right of course, but there is also a question of "rate of use", or how fast does the system reach that level of 20 MM shares per day with contribution of $.03/share. If it takes four quarter to get to the break even point, you may have a good concept but not be there the reap the harvest, if you go positive cash flow within six months of launch and the numbers expected materialize, sure you win.
