	They are more savvy.
	Back in the day, 20+ million dollars for at least a really 
successful brand and service  but without a good revenue model would 
have been regarded as a success. Plenty of places spent $100 million 
just to try and unsuccessfully establish a brand.
	So, yes, they are more savvy. Because back in the day, they 
were amazingly unsavvy.
	Cheers
