Because today, people are a lot more network savvy, and they now
understand the potential value of getting real PI space. Moreover,
anyone who understands history, realizes that getting PI space may
become harder in the future, rather than easier. Consequently, it
would be a smart business move to get PI space ASAP, in case the rules
change down the road. i.e, a rather prudent investment.
