It feels that way, but I don't think the build-out in the late 90s can be compared to what we've seen in recent years. Many companies were coming online for the first time, and it was a mad rush. They were looking for any warm body that could spell HTML. Many weren't even trained in technology. There were plenty who went back to what they were doing before when they realized the party was over.
