Oh, and of course, in the case of the new mega firm you dealing with - say
you as a CPA charged and industry standard rate of $100 hr. The mega-firm is
now selling that expertise for $9.95 an hour. Why - because they have
millions of dollars to burn in order to dominate the market.

that's what Corbis has done

tim a

(who is, BTW a photographer who has helped form just such an organisation -
so I happen to know what I'm talking about - we've got the pictures of the
Enron crowd up and running, selling to outlets before Corbis has even
managed to get theirs in their system...!).
