Is "bait-and-switch" the business model of the future? That is how you have presented Coldwell Banker's new venture, Blue Edge Realty. Consumer's are smarter than that. As for the dot coms, the question remains - can they continue to attract new infusions of cash long enough to survive until the IPO market returns? What other exit strategy could they have--profitablilty from earnings? That is not likely.
