I personally don't see this to be very believeable. Financially it doesn't make sense to destroy Ricoh's independent community which if you read this, every independent selling RFG would immediately drop them and pick up another manufacturer (we have already). If they went forward with this they would know that they would immediately loose a large percentage of their distribution and more importantly of that percentage it is the most with decent margins, as we all know that IKON/RBS and not making money by giving equipment away. In today's economic times it just doesn't make sense. Of course what they are currently doing doesn't make sense either, but I have to believe that they wouldn't commit suicide???
