It would also be worthwhile to talk to the companies that sold up instead of scaling up to find out what drove that decision. In some instances, they will do so and perhaps no one can stop them, but anecdotally I hear, since no one is monitoring it closely, that some feel that they do not have an option because the support is not available for them to scale up. They sell up because that seems to be the best option for them. It would be good to hear from them.
