        I do not think that logically follows.  There are people who pay
 $1.3 million a year to park a large jet close to their office.  Should
 it make me think that the service provider providing this service for a
 profit is a good business model for my neighbor parking lot? Or that if
 such service provider spriung up in my town, all of us who would like
 to have a faster commute would just spring up and start payin $1.3 mil
 a year to part our $4000mil jets?
