It’s a sentiment you’ll increasingly hear in the incumbent B2B industry executives over the next few years, as structural changes to their marketplace will displace some of these information companies, replaced by smaller and more nimble Internet players…
For instance, witness this: Jane’s Information Group CEO Alfred Rolington spoke at the NEPA conference Sunday, and railed against how Internet has devalued information. He apparently analyzed “the publishing trend of short-term self-fulfillment and argue that it is morally abject and short-term, as are the publishing economics behind it”. Morally abject? Really?
The point he makes about politicians makes sense, but is the Internet to blame for this?
