在当前这场空前的经济衰退中,最大的灾难之一就是统计数字的灾难。我们看到,一个又一个电子行业部门的市场规模都大大低于研究公司的预测值。最惨重的例子大概要数电子商务,不但市场规模离以前的预测相去甚远,许多电子商务公司更是干脆关门大吉。人们担心Wi-Fi会步电子商务的后尘而处于下一个衰退之中。Wi-Fi热点已经成为热门的谈资。但我们应该正确对待:在它造成整个行业升温之前,应该用理智的眼光对它进行冷静的审视。 One of the biggest catastrophes in this unprecedented recession is the catastrophe of statistics. We see that the market size of one sector after another is much lower than the research firm’s forecast. Perhaps the worst example is the number of e-commerce, not only the market size is far from the previous forecast, many e-commerce companies simply closed down. People are worried about the ebb and flow of Wi-Fi over the next recession. Wi-Fi hotspot has become a hot talk. But we should be right: before it causes the whole industry to heat up, it should be treated with a sober mind.
