Default captain jepp

Does anybody know why it so happened that there's literally
nobody else out there besides jepp in aeronautical charting
business? TERPS people develop the procedures, FAA test-flies
them, and all this info is publicly available. Yet, the only
commercial enterprise harvesting there is jepp. Between NACO and
them there's a substantial gap in terms of pricing and packaging
of services. Why is it empty?


First guess would be that there isn't enough money to be made to make it
worthwhile.
