Dotcom II Boom? Singapore?
In the past 12-month, UK and US medias have been getting more positive perception that dotcom boon II is on its way. Markets have been inspired by the EBay acquiresation of Skype. Soaring share price of Google, Baidu’s IPO and many eye-catching acquisition by the top hardware and software companies in the technology sector. Looking forward is all-bright for the big and small dotcom companies.
Silicon Valley is getting busy sign again in employment and VC activities.
Commonly known the dotcom I lasted 15 years from the Netscape IPO in 1995 to the dotcom burst in 2000. How long this boom II could reach its peak? This is everyone guest. I believe the dotcom II burst if it would be, it would not happen within the next 15 years. The recent billion dollar acquisition from the US into the China market and the Skype were the big gambles but with calculated risk.
The majority of the world dotcom-investing fund is going into the small and medium dotcoms that have generated revenue. The begin of the era of the reinvented new economy in the year 2004 would refine Internet economic structural to support the calculated risk aforesaid.
Singapore investing fund and the most of dotcoms started in 4 years before the burst, tried hard to catch up to ride on the boom. Almost all were caught in the burst and billions dollar were burnt. Speeches and articles on the medias was everyday event but suddenly all disappear.
In dotcom business, Singapore was approx. 2 to 4 years in various sectors behind the most advance countries while some sectors like search and International payment gateway have not existed or existed but failed. A few have survived through and a few are new startup today. Local investing fund has been almost frightened to death.
Dotcoms are still attractive but are viewed and valued as the business in the old economy. Ticketing market may be advance but mainly carter the local market. Today Singapore is the same, leg behind. Having achieved the top ranking in various International standard. All the top dotcoms are in the US, few in UK, and few other emerging are from the Europe countries and China. China hug market would keep most of the attention of its emerging.
The growth of market capitalization of the top dotcoms may be wonder to many people. It indicates in the foreseeable future, the growth of the dotcom business would be above all market sectors worldwide.
Singapore survival much depends on the external economy. Dotcom business largely means worldwide revenue Should Singapore could not produce the emerging world brand name in the next five year, it would have no hope after that. China would dominate the world market in most of the sectors left by UK and US.
