Can any one confirm that a couple of large European manufactures in our industry plan to exclude, by control technology, those of us who service and repair their equipment for our customers. Their action is similar to the motor industries attempt to isolate this market some years ago which, following protests within that industry, succeeded in persuading them that their actions would be counter productive and they dropped the plan.
How do you think this form of 'Big Brother' control will impact on your future business?

Fact of the week
Brothers Adolf ("Adi") and Rudolf ("Rudi") Dassler split their shoe company after WWII due to a bitter feud, and established the rival companies of Adidas and Puma. Their personal animosity and business rivalry divided their German hometown Herzogenaurach. The town became known as "the town of bent necks" due to the intense loyalty to each brand.
