The same thing could be said about the new arrangement, if it walks like a duck....., You have a territory, like a franchise, no one can compete with you in that area, like a franchise, you use the master companies name to the public, like a franchise, fedex controls a lot of the aspects of what and how you do things, like a franchise. In my mind, no matter what the contract labels it, it operates like a franchise. You can sell it, buy another one, or buy as many as the corporation allows. But one thing you are not under the ISP is an independent contractor. You may be an independent service provider with a contract to provide services, but you are not an independent business any more than your locally owned McDonalds is an independent restaurant..</p></blockquote><p></p>
