Issues related to competition and the business environment appear to
be within NANOG's charter.

The NANOG charter has included

   "maintaining a competitive and level business environment."

since November 2000.

It seems to follow that measurements of the competitive and business
environment would be on-topic.


I understand some technologists prefer to ignore competition and
the realities of business and concentrate on ways to post HTML.
