I'm very curious to how much time they have budgeted for this - has this been consuming 50% of their time? 75%?

It's really hard for me to tell if this was a real problem for them, or if they were just working on other stuff because the competition is still non-existent.

Moving to other countries is crazy difficult. They have to deal with a whole host of legal BS every time.

It's probably tough to measure. I imagine most of the bottlenecking comes from communicating with external entities, which may not scale well by adding more Stripers to the task. I would be surprised if they could just pull a developer aside and say "Joe, you're off feature X. Go call up Canada and make things happen!"

While they probably don't feel external pressure due to lack of competition, I doubt they're hotdoggin' it because they are leaving money on the table.
