It is better to let competitors come to the surface, do their work, get customers and get their businesses going. I had some sympathy for the Viridian people when they discussed the matter with me, but I do not have sufficient knowledge regarding the extent of its proposals. In any event, the commission said it was not a good idea and I am glad the Deputy approves of what the commissioner said.
However, I hope Viridian will become a strong competitor because every trading company needs good competition. It is often difficult when a monopoly is moving into a competitive arena to mix the two elements. However, in general, it is better that competitors in all markets set up their own stalls and proceed to sell.
