Joe - Could you briefly explain how/why the presence of the needs-test is important? Is this based on concern of non-network operators engaging in market activities (presumably detrimental), or based potential of well-funded network operators depleting the supply of blocks for transfer, or ... (I can think of several possibilities, but it would be good for those on the list to know some of the reasoning behind your stated concern.)
