As I commented by me I have become interested in this area and found many of my private thoughts echoed in the articles and comments here. I assume this means there is a large consensus on these topics. The issue remains what to do? I am not sure this web site etc. will become big enough to represent an unavoidable pressure group, a huge ground swell. This leaves us with pragmatic steps. I suggest a focus on a single point. The comment above shows the matrix of benefits and disbenefits will not permit the needed move from existing suppliers. Frankly it is not conceivable, because such moves as would enable small competitors would be interpreted as against share holder interests. The only alternative is to support government in making these changes despite resistance from incumbents. Government needs to unpick its involvement from the collusion as described above. We need to encourage them, that is can be done, that it should be done and that they are the ones to do it.
