We tend to put businesses (and people) up on pedestals and talk about them as if they were always there and will always be there. Worse, they start believing their own myths and think they can create their own rules. But the reality is that big companies come and go, the same as small ones. Right now in this business we have one big operator apparently bent on ensuring that in 10 years all people will be saying is "do you remember...?"
