Kai,

Please see if Peter's answer helps. I will be happy to answer follow-up
questions if you are still confused, but I do want to stress, the Managed
Partner Infrastructure consensus plan, discussed for months, addresses both
the reasoning and the risk.

Apple and Google *do not* benefit from the Managed Partner Infrastructure.
They could, but at present, they do not. Hopefully, Peter's decomposition
addresses the confusion.
