Is there too much?

[tiedeman]

Do you feel that eventually the amount of competition out there will join forces and form just one big company?

For example, like Vally Crest is buying out all of these small companies around. Do you think that other companies will start to do the same?

I don't think things will change too much. The barriers of entry to start are low and it is fairly easy to gain customers. So there will always be new upstarts.

What's your take?

[tiedeman]

I think eventually the larger companies will take over and the small companies really won't be able to survive. They will be run out of town
