Ten years ago eCommerce was still a cool buzzword that everyone wanted to try, but at that early point it was largely limited to the Business-2-Business world. The fax list use of personal computers, mobile phones and the internet was still experiencing its first period of growth, so the average person sitting in front of their behemoth CRT monitor hadn't grasped the potential fax list of the web quite yet.It didn't take long though. Soon dot.com companies selling anything from sock puppets to toothbrushes at unbelievably low prices were popping up all over the place. Beady eyed fax list investors saw the potential in dot-cons: little overhead and massive profit.
The credit industry chimed in with low interest fax list rates and blanket application acceptances, knowing there was money to be made. Unfortunately and predictably, the house of cards fell. Dot-cons were collapsing by the dozens and investors saw billions of dollars seemingly evaporate into thin air within a very short period.Sat dark period in the early history of eCommerce, there have been countless research studies conducted in an effort to answer the desperate fax list whys and how's being screamed from bankruptcy courts around the nation. By now we have all heard the answer explained in long winded speeches about boom and bust cycles etc. In the end the collapse of the dot.com bubble was the inevitable outcome of greed on a massive scale, more specifically, unchecked fax list greed with few security protocols and no governing body.
The birth of the 1990's brought a wider availability fax list of personal computers and the internet, but the 21st century brought mobility to the internet. According to CACTI the Wireless Association, there were just over 109 million mobile phone users in the US in 2000, that's 38% of the population. Of course at that point the smartphone was clunky and fairly unusable so fax list few people owned one. Eight years later the number of mobile phone users more than doubled to 262 million, 85% of the population. Now the NNelsonCompany predicts by the end of 2011 at least 49% of Americans will have a smartphone and 51% will still be using their feature fax list phone (out of the 96% of the population that uses a mobile device).
