It depends on the industry. Condiser the rental car industry. For years it appeared to be just Hertz and Avis, but now there are several others still thriving (although they are not 1 or 2). The fast food industry is the same. McDonalds and Burger King may be the top two, but that has not slowed the growth of others (Wendy&#39;s, Artic Circle, In N Out, Carl&#39;s Jr., etc.).<br /><br />I worked for Ancestry in the mid-1990s when number one in that industry was Broderbund and their Family Tree Maker brand. The question the founders posed to me was: How do we compete against the 900 pound gorilla. My response: Make a better product. Ancestry did, and they changed the game rules by putting data on the web, not on CD-ROM. <br /><br />I could go on, but Ancestry still has commercial competition: Genealogy Bank, World Vital Records and the recent emergence of Archives.com.Kory Meyerinknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5512311610334754148.post-77509892033904341892010-10-11T06:41:55.568-06:002010-10-11T06:41:55.568-06:00Since FHCs no longer have access to Ancestry.com [...Since FHCs no longer have access to Ancestry.com [library version], will their acquistion of Footnote mean that FHCs can not have free access it also?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
