Translation: We, the IAHC, are going to hand NSI profits on a silver
platter and hinder you new guys. Hey, don't be upset, think of all the
others who didn't get picked in the lottery. Take the artificial barriers
and do your best to get around them while NSI laughs their way to the
bank.

This is a business problem being solved by technical solutions, and they
don't match. I am beyond dismayed.
