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

I'll bet there's at least half a dozen companies, all willing to bid on
the ATC contract, all promising to do it "cheaper-faster-better"...


That may be, but that's not competition. Competition will come to ATC when
the user has his choice of providers. Of course, when that happens, ATC
will no longer be able to ensure separation.
