Indeed! Here in Italy we experience this a lot. Quite a number of places
receive subsidies of one kind or another and use these to sustain cut-rate
prices on RP services. One Italian multi-national is also in competition
with it's own suppliers for RP! Others get EC money for research and use it
to develop third party service work. Not a pretty picture . . .
