Very good point, ywtoh.

Previously RWL would have had to stump up he cash or offer private scrip when buying out companies. Not ideal as that takes deep pockets in the case of cash and in the case of scrip, a limited exit position.

We are now a different beast altogether with all the flexibility that comes from being a listed entity, including the issuing of shares or raising funds from a larger investor base (and on the open market). So that should allow any missing parts of the business model to be bought out (including any promising junior competitors) without the slower path of in-house development.

I suspect the early days in this space will be about staking out market share rather than organic growth of products and contracts.
