IMHO, any business has no limitations in all markets as long it is legal
(i.e. within market policy), so IETF Business/Work can grow only if we
don't worry about limitations and don't worry about competitors within our
markets/worlds. The *real world* (e.g. including markets) is trying to
become real+virtual_world, so now the World is changing its
work_limitations and work_structure, and it is directing toward IP
technologies. So that makes other standard_bodies limited also, and that
makes IETF expand.
