RE: RE: RevenueThis is like me building a number of top fuel dragsters with a base engine, transmission, and final drive configuration... then with the other shops in the area adding their little bits of "add-ons" the dragster is completed for the track. It's the peripheral add-ons and modifications, tweaking and adjustments that makes one machine just that little bit better than the others...
I don't care if the other shops in the area work on my product, because that simply quantifies my product, and if my business is already working at 100% capacity, I am more than happy to assist them if they need small assistance with making the two products match up better.
Now the moment when one of the support businesses design and build an engine that is competitive with my product, I have to decide what to do with them... take them out, or design a better engine myself... what I do is all based on that time and specifics...
Simply put, Ortsbo makes the Big 13 better, because it's a win, win, win for everyone... just like my dragster, the Big 13 don't care what I do, because it all means simpler integration for all 13 social media programs WORLD WIDE; and who would mind that? (Other than a basher)
Now, the big kicker against INT (IMHO) is when they perfect itiBiti... at this point, I'd be either beginning to design a better engine, or getting ready to take out the competition...
