A new study confirms that approximately 60% of last years' dot-com
deaths occurred during the fourth quarter of the year as funding
quickly began to dry up. Of those dot-com deaths, about 75% offered
products or services for primarily a consumer audience. Another 21%
had a business clientele and the remainder had a blend of
both. E-commerce companies accounted for 109 shutdowns or just over
half the total closures.
