Ken's distribution service for CLNP is not unlike many distribution services.
It is very common for a not-so-big company, like CLNP, to sell their products to distributors, and allow the distributors to do with the products as they wish.
I work with distributors for two different companies, and when I buy from the distributors, they don't even know what I do with the products (packaged food goods) or where I might sell them.
