They are not providing a service though, they are enforcing a service whether or not a company wants to use it and in doing so will force up prices e.g. T3 is a featured app on the ipad appstore at the moment and looking at the top in-app purchases it seems as if the cheapest you can get the magazine is £2 per issue whereas on Zinio you could get a sub for about £1.60 an issue so no doubt the latter will either be forced off the ipad or forced to increase their price to the detriment to the customer.
