面对宽带产业链条的断裂,其投资的巨大风险已摆在面前。
Last year, broadband was viewed as the golden opportunity for investment, just as what Internet was regarded in 2000. Though some people predicted that broadband would be a bubble iike Internet, capitalists still gambled on it by investing much money. With the bankruptcy of American broadband models, the fever in broadband has gradually vanished in China.But the situation may be even worse than people anticipate. The biggest investors in broadband now have to suffer from negligible return on investment and to face the burden of bank loans.The optimistic investors believe that the broadband's promising future lies in the next three to five years, though they have to take out more money to cover losses because users' demand for broadband still seems to be growing. But the reality is hard. Many small broadband companies are finding potential buyers or thinking of possibility of retreating from broadband field.Though it is arbitrary to say broadband is down in crisis, it is no doubt that broadband can hardly shine as brilliantly as it did last year.
