Last week's high-profile bankruptcy of KPNQwest, the Internet service provider behind Europe's largest data network, has not damaged the credibility of the Internet as a reliable business tool, according to the IT managers polled in this week's Computer Weekly/ Harvey Nash Big Question.

Three quarters of respondents viewed the collapse of KPNQwest as serious, but not something that could drag down the rest of the network service provider industry.

"It will just act as a suitable reminder to the remaining players to operate their businesses more professionally," said one IT manager.
