However little attention has been paid to No. 3. Which company is No. 3? I’ll be you don’t even know. Yet No. 3 could transform the industry over the next few years. It seems we’ve been following the big guys for so long, we forgot about all the other players. The industry seems to be settling into two parts, and there are quite a few Tier II players.
