Or it would provide a much cozier climate for collusion on the fixing of
prices and industrial agreement on price-inflation policies. I don't
necessarily see two giant concerns as being 'competition' especially when
they're both strictly non-academic (i.e., commercial, or profit-driven)
agencies.

Just my cynical view.
