You touch a very important point "penchant for big corporations to deal with big firms". It got to my attention when I was doing a stint for Mototola in Thailand. I noticed that big corporations had Global agreements. That means, MOT would have a global agreement with Harris Microwave and world wide they would refer to that agreement whenever they need the gear. I think all strated inside the US and might have worked very well. The problem was that worldwide it was messy. My opinion is that power holders do not share it. Money holders do not want to share. They want to hog. So MOT would be keeping all in the family when they would go abroad. This in the family thing create a collusion which over time pricing blow over and no one look at it. That measn, until the going stop being good. This is when the collusions fall apart. I was in Brazil buing a property back in 1998. The guy selling met me for coffee. Upon knowing I was in the pole-climbing business, he said that the big boom in mobile in Brazil would have one of his friedn with the suppply of tower and masts. Just the licesnes were issued and the pizza had been already sliced. I was surprised!
