Re: Wind's latest problem..... (none / 1)

This is an 'unfair competition' argument right up there with one I saw deployed against a major 'Social Enterprise' in London which was pitching for a new bus route. The case was that it was 'unfair' that the firm didn't have to pay returns to shareholders.....

So they are admitting that running not-for-profit is a superior business model for getting things done as oppose as to extract money out of the enterprise...
