I am trying to get my head around why that is in the proposal. Are we limiting our scope to access the best technology from wherever it comes? When I was growing up, it was historically Sony. It is more Samsung now. Places like Korea, Japan and China do a lot of tech, and probably do it well. Are we limiting our ability to access the best stuff by saying it must all be owned by certain entities or is there an opportunity for these companies to set up European divisions and then the stuff comes in from wherever in any event?
