My comment was more along the lines of distrust between BUs ("I'm not
willing to gamble my BU on the competency of your BU.") rather than
competition.

Basically, "BU A, you will use BU B services, even if you don't want
to." This can be effective. In many places, this level of governance
(why is it "SOA governance"? isn't it just IT governance?) doesn't
even exist. That's why I mentioned "one possible outcome."

That's cool. I'm glad to hear that at least some are able to achieve
this level of cooperation.
