The other big difference is that those making money out of the internet now seem to regard it as a natural resource to be exploited and not something to > invest in as was done in the past.
Ron, I am not sure that I agree with you or Stewart here. We are
discussing the lack of candidates for leadership positions. If I look at
the roster of the IAB and IESG, I find plenty of members working for
those large companies that develop Internet technologies, and that tells
me that we are not exactly suffering from lack of participation from big
companies. In fact, if we loaded committees with even more participation
of these big companies, the complaint would not be that they "do not
invest" -- most probably, we would hear the opposite complaint, that
they invest too much.
Let's focus on finding more good candidates!
