Hmm.

A business protecting their (for what has been up 'til now) monopoly ?

No!

Shock! Horror!

Come on guys; deal with it, show it for what it is, take the appropriate
measures, and move on. 

The only people that *really* have cause to whine are Melbourne IT 
stockholders that bought without realisation that the monopoly was
going to end. And even they should have done their market research 
properly.

(P.S. I love being right :)
