I truly believe that time has come to democratise the VAN business and let new
entrants in. We have a good model in how the internet has figured out how to
work with multiple domain and hosting providers – they don’t have any of the
interconnect rubbish we have in the VAN world – you can access any website
anywhere in the world via a domain name which could be the same as an ISA ID in
the VAN business – I know the ISA ID’s are not unique now but this might be a
small price to pay for progress.

Till now the other VANs have been quietly benefiting from GXS’s actions. The
interconnects they posses to GXS have been huge barrier to entry to new
competition since 2001...all of which have come in as Service Providers
dependent on the VANs for interconnects.
I do think the calculus is now about to change.
