Ok, customer. Actually I don't care. I will evaluate the business value no
matter who owns it and I will vote with my dollars/euros/kroner.

Yes it would be nice if we had a true self owned entity that would help
people peer the most cost effective way and only that. Apparently they have
something like it in Seattle. But not in my part of the world, hence I view
them all as purely commercial entities. I need a good balance of price and
quality and will buy from whoever comes with the best business proposal.
