The way to make the market forces work is NOT to outlaw stations from
asking a multiplier to go to a new band.  Rather, the multiplier (or
QSO) must refuse under all circumstances to let him or herself be
passed.  *These* are the market forces at work.  If stations refuse to
move, then the practice will be viewed as futile, and eventually die.
But telling the "big monopolies" to stop asking is like telling
baseball players not to ask for more money every year.  As long as the
market continues to pay them ever-increasing sums of money, the
salaries will continue to rise unabated.  If the owners and agents
would just stop giving in to the high salary demands, either they quit
and find a new job, or stop asking.
