Regardless of the motives of the suppliers of inductive equipment, and
regardless of the safety or liability potential of such equipment...or its
availability, 625 still serves to make such products unfairly and
artificially competitive. If inductive charging equipment is that much
superior it should be able to claim its rightful share of a market without
such jury rigged advantages.
