I got a call from Dun & Bradstreet, wanting me to become a member. The ploy was that I have a couple of derogatory things on my listing, and that if I was a member I could see who was posting what, and I could respond to them. I had to laugh, and I told the guy it sounds like a kid's game - "Somebody said something bad about you, but I won't tell who said it or what they said unless you pay me".
With the COI thing, I reckon all the 'Suits' in corporateland will be scared of missing something, and naturally if it's free they'll sign up. Then the vendors can get charged for the reporting service. Suits are happy, COI is happy, vendors are screwed (again).
Sounds sort of similar to Angie's List.
My Dad used to say 'If the bad guys don't get ya, the good guys will'.
