Application Service Providers (ASPs) 2

I have to think the days of ASPs have come and gone. Here's the dirty little secret about ASPs - if your application is bad, your private label site will die on the vine, and your customer will stop paying for it. If your application is good, your customer will most likely invest the money to bring it in house. It's a lose / lose (in most cases). The last thing you want in a business model is one in which you lose the client when things start going to well.
