Philip,
I apologize if I my comments were too
strong. That was not the intent. Rather, I was attempting to rebut
Mike R’s comments, i.e., they
haven’t offered any good reason why these models shouldn’t be
allowed.
Indeed, the topic of flaws in the WG model
is very worthy of debate and further discussion.
Kind regards,
RA

Ron,
you put words into my mouth.
a) I find the RACK proposal and reasoning excellent.
b) I made a much more generic proposal.
"This to my mind is one of the key flaws of the WG
model of policy development. Incumbents are able to manipulate future
markets.
This has anti-trust implications".
That is all I said. No accusations. Just noting the WG model
has this potential. Actual abuse is the exercise of market power.
Worthy of a debate surely?
Philip
