As with the Atos contract for DLA and ESA, watch out for the government not being responsible for any mistakes that the private contractors do, and watch out for the government being farther and farther from the public; after all these services will not be provided by the government or civil servants, but private companies. And watch out for the companies saying we are just doing what the contract tells us to do.
