Yeah Pasta, SIA wants to keep it in the family, no doubt. Cuts back on the ideal of Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) to reduce costs. May be necessary. I appreciate this perspective from Dan, while remembering yours.
SIA members holding out cause they refuse to accept the mandate, and won't go through dealers. The IPV's may be the DLA's only answer for their needs unfortunately. This is what Dan said:
That's elegantly articulated. We can say things like that too. Gotta prepare.
I think there's room for all of us. Independent brokers may be an area that has to change. Just looking at more sides than I was a couple of hours ago.
