Still not sure where TNT come into it. Companies don't outsource to competitors.
Down stream access ?. Just today I delivered a city link package - isn't that outsourced.
Do you mean that downstream access is an example of a competitor outsourcing delivery to RM? I guess you could argue that - but why do they do it?

Why would RM outsource delivery, our main competitive advantage? If TNT ever have a delivery operation that rivals the scope of RMs and at a cheaper price we won't need to outsource non USO business, they will win it anyway and keep all the profit.
