Web Services Boon for Customers, Not Investors. "According to the findings in a new Deutsche Bank Securities report, it may be difficult for investors to profit from Web services because of how they commoditize the traditional bread and butter markets of IT consultancies and systems integrators."

Datamation columnist George Spafford says before people completely discard what Carr has to say, there are some issues to take into account." [Source: Datamation]
Of the many dozens of articles in response to Carr's, this one is interesting because, like mine, it includes a graph showing the relationship between competitive advantage and the phases of technology adoption.
