Tell that to the VCs.

*all* the business plans were based on "We give stuff away until we crush
all our competitors, then we clean up", which would have worked if the
competition weren't doing the same.

Of course, some local management got it all confused, and viewed giving
stuff away as the end... but that's still very different from what De
Geus is proposing.

Cheers
