Another "Wirbling" Article: eetimes.com In this piece Wirbel makes the case for a more "direct" form of ownership involvment in the last mile, of those being served. As I recall Frank was promoting such a "vision" for the future some time ago, the BLEC model is sort of a partial evolution to such a possible scenario and I lean towards it too but wasn't able to verbalize it this effectively - He also talks about the consequences, higher up front payments but lower future rates.
