Point taken. Let me clarify, of course there should be multiple competing 
products, I meant that each GP would only need to choose one downloader on 
their system, as systems could communicate using the standard.

Glad you agree.
But want are the implications for your own business model (again, I emphasise, 
this applies to all vendors) if this actually comes to pass?

A messaging provider set up solely to service radiologists and pathologists 
could undercut you, as they would not need to pay for support for GPs, while 
you (and anyone who wants GPs on their system) does.
