Default NATCA Going Down in Flames

You think there's no one waiting in the wings to bid against
Lockheed-Martin?


OF course - this is the same kind of competition we had in the cable TV
industry in the early days. The only reason there's any competition in
Cable is that the internet came, and even so, there are many political
barriers between the telephone and the cable.

Once they get the contract and have done it for a while, the startup
costs for new entrants will be just as high, but Lockheed won't have
those startup costs any more. It will be harder to bid against them.
They will also be politically entrenched.
