Times Brings Dotcom Coverage Back Under The Business Umbrella

The Times has re-absorbed its E-business coverage back from a dedicated page into the general business section, explaining that with the dotcom boom well and truly busted, the subject no longer warrants a specialist page.

The decision was announced in the paper on Saturday. The page, it explained, had been launched early in 2000 when researchers such as Forrester could see no limit to the potential power of the dotcom. However, despite the huge changes the new media have made to people’s lives and businesses, the well documented crash and burn of many companies now means that most of the power behind the internet is in the hands of the “bricks and mortar” companies which also influence other businesses.
