RE: UKNM: UK Online Shopping

Tim


Are you now offering to sponsor UKNM???


But to your first point, I wouldn't go as far as to say "pissing on".

These large corporations, for that is what they are now, have also

created many, many opportunties for Brits and many Brits are taking

advantage of those opportunties created.


In terms of raising finance, speaking to folks in the UK, it is more

difficult to raise the finance than if you were raising it in the

States.  Also, don't forget, the market is much bigger in the US and

when talking to banks/finance people they are more saavy about what "new

media/Internet" is about.


Things are now changing in the UK and hopefully people are able to

present business plans to banks without the hassle they may have had a

year or two ago.  But, it is still an uphold struggle and this country

is steeped in innovation, but lack of support for those who innovate

which means they go elsewhere to raise funds.
