Boiled down to the basics the whole premise of MPS is one of "we can't sell you a new machine that's better or cheaper than the fleet of HP's you already own, we'll just steal the annuity stream from HP". Which has always made me wonder why these steps which seem so obvious has not taken taken by HP already:<br /><br />> Drop the prince of toner 35%, or some number that takes the wind out of the sails of the MPS non-OEM toner profit margin.<br /><br />> Start a new "HP goes green" program in which HP starts its own cartridge recycling and "HP certified" recycled toner cartridge program. Heck if the Joe Blow company can make a profit recycling HP cartridges, HP should be able to make more money using original OEM parts and toner. <br /><br />HP seems to be in as good a financial shape as anyone in the market space. And given that they could afford to piss away what I've been told was over a billion dollars on the EdgeLine flop without anyone raising a stink it seems they could afford to fight the MPS takeaway.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3494073750236045538.post-71711598220349731042010-02-21T23:26:54.263-05:002010-02-21T23:26:54.263-05:00Thanks for stopping by.
