The solution is staring you in the face. If a distributor is truly making customers unhappy with high markups and no local value added than they are ripe to lose their territory. No company, and I'm sure Realsoftware is no exception, will long tolerate a lump of a distributor who doesn't provide value added that makes maintaining their local monopoly worthwhile to the RS bottom line.

You seem to be saying that your local distributor is worthless. Well, if that's true, you can probably make good money by replacing them. Good luck on the business plan writing.

What do you say RS, how locked in are you to your current distributors?
