Well, yes, but they wouldn't be buying in the bulk that the large
operators would be, so wouldn't be able to command the price.
Probably also specification cases, which wouldn't be cheap either, but
all-in-all, an effort worth promoting, I think.
I first saw them a few years back, so they don't appear to be the usual
flash in the pan operation. On top of that, they appear to be expanding,
and doing that along the lines of a distributed, local, manufacturing
model also, which I think is interesting.
Cheers!
